REVENGE

Revenge - The act of vengeance. Harming someone in retaliation for something harmful that person did.

If a solution is what you want, Revenge  is the last place to look for it. Whenever one resorts to Revenge its because the injury or offense caused by another is seen as a personal attack which then blocks your ability to think or see clearly (rationally.) Action(s) taken when your mind is obscured is not your decision at all. 

At this point, your mind is hijacked by Fear disguised as Anger, Hurt, Confusion, etc. Any action taken in this state robs you of Joy and now holds you just as "guilty" as the offender. Pardon/Mercy on the other hand keeps you in a state of Peace. Peace can only be experienced in the Present moment. It's only in the Present moment that Pardon is available and can be offered  to another. This is the only true solution because it releases both you and the "offender" from further pain and suffering.

Pardon sees the offense as a cry for help rather than an attack and keeps you from engaging in inappropriate behavior (retaliation.) Pardon doesn't keep tabs or hold grudges. On the contrary, Pardon erases the offense as if it never occurred. Pardon maintains Peace within you and reestablishes Peace in the offender. In that instant the Past is released, the Present is restored and the Future is no longer projected because of past errors.

"Eye for an Eye, Tooth for a Tooth" does not bring Peace - it is the definition of Revenge. Revenge  causes pain, sorrow, regret, shame, resentment, hostility, animosity and hatred. Seek Revenge and expect stress, depression, sickness and a miserable death! PEACE
