Ever since ABC’s TV show Revenge came out, I’ve been thinking about a hypothetical situation, where I’ve been betrayed to the point when forgiveness would be the last thing on my mind. For me it’s hard to imagine situation like enough I keep grudges, I get over my problems with others pretty quickly.
Life is too short, to obsess over the past,but ever since I watched the new music video for Taylor Swift, and one of people I know is acting super weird, like I’ve done something wrong, I’ve been constantly thinking about what would it be like if I could exact an epic revenge plan. I can’t say for certain, but I doubt I’ll ever do it in real life. Firstly, I don’t have enough money. Secondly I’m not someone who takes action when I’m mad. I just boil quietly until I explode. Usually for something small at a totally different person…
So no epic revenge in real life. So maybe I’ll write a book about it. After all, everything else I write about is partly because I want to live at least part of it in real life. It’s the closest I can get to satisfy my controlling nature.
Just make no mistake, of all revenge stories ever written (and I count in movie and TV scripts as well) the best (for me) is, and always will be ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’.
‘Death is too god for them. They must suffer like I suffered.’
And let’s not to forget the line I love the most…
‘God will give me justice.’
Well of I ever do decide to write a story about revenge I know how it should end. With forgiveness Because even though revenge is more fun and at the moment feels great, forgiveness is what sets us free. What let’s us move on and enjoy our life. It doesn’t matter if we avenged someone or something, as long as you forgive, you did the right thing.
I just wish forgiveness would be easier. It’s easier ti hold a grudge and plan revenge. It’s hard, if not next to impossible sometimes, to forgive.
