"Revenge is an admission of pain: a mind that is bowed by injury is not a great mind." Seneca
Yes or no?
Yes
Revenge speaks slowly in a voice honey thick with seduction. You're captivated by the empty yet sweet promises. A mind concerned with promises and lust is shielding itself from pain. From peace.
Pain surfaces in all sorts of ways. Revenge is personification of pain unresolved, unhealed, with a scab torn off releasing fresh vulnerability. We don't like vulnerability, because we feel open and exposed. Open for more pain.
With eyes clouded and shrouded from reality, we stray from the development of a solid, sound, strong mind. A mind bowed from injury is not a great mind, but it can be.
