Is Revenge Sweet
>b>
Brain-imaging study suggests, we feel
satisfaction when punishing other
for bad actions for which we had suffer;
Does scar in injured mind with action heal?
Someone seeking revenge is looking to
retaliate for wrong acts, but that thought grew
with rise in anger, awed view does misguide
attempt to transform the shame into pride.
Wish for pursuing harm to offender
in fact hurts oneself; not going to feel
good to hurt someone with a bad temper
but the result is with no gain real.
Study says, punishers felt worse, repent
than non-punishers despite their revenge.
