Eye for an Eye?

I believe that revenge is different with every different person that takes it. I think that in such things as a sports rivalry, revenge is useful in driving the team to victory. Just that little extra something to put behind you to get that extra yard. And when you achieve your revenge, it is oh so sweet for the whole school. Not just the team. But some people can't handle revenge. Some people can't stop once they start, and they can never get enough vengeance on their rivals or enemies. Those who are not careful, should not seek revenge because they will only succeed in hurting themselves. Thomas Moore once said: "Those who plot the destruction of others often parish in the attemp." I think revenge is something not to be handled lightly, but to carry on a velvet pillow, to be careful with, or it will consume you. Revenge has a way of over running you to a point where it is your one heart's desire. So I will leave with this quote by Ghandi: " An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind."
