"Revenge is an admission of pain: a mind that is bowed by injury is not a great mind." Seneca Yes or no?

The Pain of Vengeance

Vengeance comes from a soul that has been injured, when the core of the person cannot withstand the insult it has received. In this case, the mind cannot override the painful emotion of the injury, and it fails to restrain the instinct from lashing out at the offending source. The person is not able or willing to balance their thoughts and emotions, behaving like a baby in pain or a toddler throwing a tantrum. Only those who have found the wisdom and peace of balance can reach beyond the pain to live great lives.
