Vengeance always 'works' but to what end?

 Whatever works for you is to the purpose you assigned and accepted as your own.

Spot on. I answer an insult with an insult. It always works. Occasionally it's possible to make one of them cry.


Vengeance always 'works' but to what end?
You get to feel good about yourself?

For my part I see destruction or undermining of all that is humanly worthy - no matter how imperfect we may be - as incitement to hate - and to take such an identity as morally justified and give IT priority over the truth of the heart - which is always a present discernment and cannot be stamped into a template by a protective 'Big Brother' for your 'security'.

You have your own freedom and your own reward or result, but the capacity to leave the insult in the mouth of the giver, is the capacity to in no way be phished by it to reaction.

The loss of freedom and discernment of truth worthy of conserving, is to a reactive identity running blind conditioning as a 'normal'. In this sense I see that ALL such identities are by definition 'conspiring' to maintain the conditions of conflict, while assigning or flagging such an intent to 'others', enemies and pathogens.

By the way I would be glad for you to feel good about yourself - through and through - and not as a temporary 'hit' that is gotten from bullying a bully - or paying someone in their own coin. There may be times when the love of truth is served by this, but if you takes power unto yourself, you lose your mind. That's what 'power corrupts' means. Corruption is a mind-capture to deceits running as moral justification - or self-exceptionalism.

Being fully present to every situation as unique is a different appreciation of what freedom is.
Most 'allow' a conditioned sleepwalking through life that delivers them to evils that can no longer be airbrushed away - and that always have some resonance in our own hearts and minds or we would not be the experience in such terms. NOTE - I do not blame - but invite awakening responsibility. This can of course mean reflecting back to another the nature of the measure they are choosing to set themselves in, but I would do so to their innate capacity to choose, rather than as the delivery of vengeance in retribution.
