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. ~X~X~X~
