Revenge as a pursuit of closure from "summary" of Revenge by Ted Sullivan,Erica Schultz
In the wake of betrayal and heartbreak, revenge often becomes a tempting avenue for those seeking closure. The desire to right a wrong, to balance the scales of justice, is a powerful motivator. It is a primal urge that can consume us, driving us to extreme measures in the pursuit of vengeance. Revenge is not simply about inflicting pain on those who have wronged us. It is about reclaiming our sense of power and agency, about restoring our shattered sense of self-worth. It is a cathartic release, a way to exorcise the demons that haunt us. However, revenge is a double-edged sword. It can provide temporary satisfaction, but it rarely brings true closure. The cycle of violence only begets more violence, leading to an endless cycle of retribution and suffering. In seeking revenge, we risk losing sight of what truly matters – forgiveness, healing, and ultimately, moving on. Ultimately, closure is not found in revenge, but in letting go. It is in accepting the past for what it is, learning from it, and finding a way to move forward. Closure is about finding peace within ourselves, rather than seeking it through external means. In the end, revenge may seem like a tempting solution, but true closure lies in forgiveness and letting go. It is a difficult path to walk, but one that leads to true healing and inner peace. Letting go of the need for revenge is a powerful act of self-love and self-preservation. It is the ultimate act of reclaiming our agency and refusing to let past hurts define us.
