Heh, Revenge is underrated and overrated at the same time....
It is very satisfying, even if you have to spend some energy on it(just don't overdo it!).
Additionally, nobody ever said it has to be starightforward violence.
Revenge is usually seen as bad because society doesn't want to provide a feeding ground for weak-minded individuals.
That's at least what I think.
See it that way:
People who throw away their lives for something like revenge would probably just as easily throw away their life for a nice car, you can't expect from anybody to be able to resist temptation, that's too basic to be easily discarded....
it's nothing bad, the bad thing is when the people around them, in the first place parents, aren't capable of compensating that with proper elevation and education.
If you can handle it,
and are intelligent or at least willful enough to keep the collateral damage as low as possible(that's also the main problem with most, if not all people who want to have revenge, they become deadly reckless and a liability to everybody including themselves), then there's no problem in it, in the end, you do that to yourself (Compare: "Why not suicide?").
Maybe there are some inconveniences ethically/morally, but let's be honest on that, shall we?

The best (and hardest) thing one can do for revenge is to eradicate the object of the revenge from one's mind complete, forget that it ever existed.
Exactly, and it gets a lot easier when you simply fulfill it, so you can really move on to other things wothout regret and with satisfaction of basic instincts. And as said, when one breaks because of it, than it's a special case anyway....
Eddy:
You can also just call it retribution.... when I got that right, it's even legit then.
Sorry for the slightly non-sequitur mini-rant, and I know I'm mostly throwing around fairly unrealistic theories about human behaviour and willpower, but I "hoped" for quite long to be able to get that point more or less across, in one way or another....
