The Foolishness of Revenge
The Foolishness of Revenge occurs when something is done with the motive of getting even. There are many reasons that this is irrational. One is the two wrongs do not make a right. Another is that justice finally belongs to God, and He will repay. Taking vengeance is a fruit of lack of trust in God. This doesn’t mean that legal systems should not be just or that there should not be punishments. It doesn’t mean that Churches or families should not have discipline. These are orders set by God, and one of their responsibilities is to maintain order and to teach order.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question
