The Cask of Amontillado: Revenge.
Q: Is revenge ever justified?
A: I personally think that revenge is morally wrong and I do not support it. If you seek revenge you are no better than person who has committed the offense. There is no reason to get to their same level. Revenge guides more revenge in a vicious circle and it is not worth it. I believe taking revenge is a very unsuccessful means by which humans attempt to heal the pain that they feel. However, revenge can never heal our pains. Ironically, this mistaken effort to heal always results in more pain. Seeking revenge just shows that you’re immature. Getting “even” is a path to nowhere, but getting ahead is a path to good things. There’s a moral that says ‘‘Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to you’’. I say that 2 wrongs never make a right. Forgiveness is a great virtue and should be practiced. It practically turns out to be a huge waste of time and energy. Just get over it and get on with life.
