REVENGE WILL ONLY MAKE YOU WORST

Back in the days when I was too young to be called a man and too old to be called a boy, when I can’t reason like either a man or a boy. Then, I have a very eccentric reasoning style which is mostly in conflict with my environmental, social and parental standards. Sociological theorists believe I was an adolescent, because environment, society and parent affect every adolescent’s thinking and behaviors. As an adolescent I do not have a full mind of my own, and even if I do, I would always want to contort it to suit the expectations of those three mentioned guidance. I learnt from psychologist that adolescence is a developmental stage, a transformational junction and a critical point in everyone’s life, because things that happen across this moment could eventually affect the whole rest of one’s life. I can’t argue that, because I myself can testify that most of the things I learn back then are still vividly sinuous in my memory. Part of the parental guidance I enjoyed reshaped my reasoning on “revenge”. I can still remember my father always told me whenever he sees me planning or showing a revenge reaction to an unacceptable action previously done to me by contemporaries. He would teach and caution me by saying; Oh you! Don’t let revenging bad actions teach you the bad you don’t actually have in you, because revenge would end up making you bad or even worst. He will fondly emphasize that there are so many bad people with bad minds living this life with us, and whenever you come across them, learn to avoid them and never to revenge their purposeful bad deeds if you don’t want to end up like them. Now that I have a mind of my own, what I can meaningfully infer from my adolescence lesson is that; bad actions and bad reactions are both bad deeds and it takes a bad mind to actualize either of the two.
