Revenge, in my opinion, is a natural human instinct. When somebody commits something bad on you, you feel the need to get back to them so you feel like they paid the price. I believe that revenge also does NOT have to be direct, such as an instance in which someone says something degrading to you and you build yourself up to be better than what they called you while not hurting them directly.
The ideas of revenge can be brought about by many events. One widely discussed event that causes revenge is when somebody bullies you. You feel degraded by them, or in some cases, are physically hurt by the bully. Immediately feeling anger, you may begin having thoughts of verbally degrading them back or hurting them back to raise your self-esteem and to feel better.
This type of vengeance can hurt both sides equally, even though it feels good to have gotten somebody back. If the person that you performed your revenge on decides not to mess with you anymore, you feel good but leave the other party feeling bad. If the bully performs another revenge for your revenge, you might perform a revenge for their revenge. It's like a cycle if that happens; the revenges might go back and forth, hurting each other more.
