3.8 Revenge is sin

Two wrong do not make a right.  There is a lot of wrong doings on this little planet.   Whether it be a drug deal of the junkees of this world gone wrong, or jealousy of a sexual nature, revenge is sin!  There is a Lord sitting in the heavens and he is watching.   He is within all of us.   He puts us through several tests of mortality.   He is our judge.   Our reword is heaven.   Our testing ground is the Earth we walk upon.   When we do wrong, there is the concept of Karma.   If we do wrong it shall be punished by the Lord Almighty.   There is no need to take on the responsibility of judge, jury and exetotioner.   That is too much responsibility for any one man.   That is not our job.   That is the job of Almighty Lord.   There have been many cases where a woman is assaulted and revenge is sought.   There are many cases when a man is assaulted and revenge is sought.   An eye for an eye.   A tooth for a tooth.   This means of delivering justice is a sin and will be punished by the Almighty Lord.

  

On a global scale, there are wrongs done within interstate relations.   When a western democracy retaliates to a wrong, it is wrong.   For example, the American response to 911 was revenge in it’s purest form.   Pride is a sin.   Form an injury of their pride, the Americans toppled the Saddamn government, hunted down Osama and tore the entire middle east apart.   Given the governments of the middle east were in turmoil, and given, the most likely culprit of all were the Arabs, however given reasonable doubt, while preaching international institutions to negotiate peace, the Americans came out looking like the bad guys.   To cite another example, lets look at the European wars in the past three centuries.   As greedy feudal monarchs reigned at the time, they were all anxious of aggressive neighbors, while secretly desiring more territory and resources.   As one state would be vanquished in battle, they world hide their resentment, sign a peace treaty and prepare for revenge in their next battle.   One wins, one loses.   In the next battle, the tables turn.   At the end of the day nobody wins.   Not a single person will be able to tell you what the conflict was about, but revenge is necessary.
