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 extortioner. 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.
