Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.

About This Quote

Revenge is the act of taking what belongs to another person because of an insult or injury. Revenge is not a strong emotion; it is an act of revenge that makes us feel powerful. However, revenge rarely feels powerful because it is often used for small, petty gain. If someone breaks your computer, the smart thing to do would be to get a new one and repair the old one.

Instead, some people might want to go out and break another computer because they are sad that their own computer was broken in the first place. The act of revenge is made much worse when people take the matter into their own hands before things are done right. It’s like when someone steals your lunch money, you should go straight to the teacher and talk about it with him or her, then you can get that kid’s lunch money.

However, if you decide to grab him by the neck and threaten him with physical violence, you will end up getting detention from school. This shows that revenge does not feel as powerful as it seems it would be on a big scale.
