Is revenge a bad thing if people hurt you first?

[Davi Meireles]

The point is not to hand yourself over to the police authorities, machine gun the vehicle and that's it. No arrests.


You won't come out alive anyway from revenge, it's better to take everyone who gets in your way. The justice of the earth is flawed but yours is not, think carefully if the guy did you wrong you should catch him and that's it

Davi, nothing good comes from revenge. It just escalates further and further. And there is no amount of revenge that will ever give you peace when somebody has wronged you. As hard as it can be and as much as we may not want to, forgiveness and "turning the other cheek" are the only things that resolve things and give peace.

Sometimes it's very difficult to stop and wonder "what would Jesus do in this situation?." It's even more difficult sometimes to "do what Jesus would do." And Satan will use the people and things that matter most to you in order to bring you to sin. To kind of tie this to another thread you made. It's easy to believe in God and say you're a "child of Christ." It's sometimes isn't so easy to live as "a child of Christ." That is one of the challenges, I believe, we were put here on Earth for.

I agree, revenge is a path that leads to hell! The problem is when you witnessed hell when you were still alive on earth... Why for me to see my family murdered by criminals would release the Frank Castle in me.

Davi, did a cartel murder and dismember your entire family?

Had you considering moving out of Brazil? Sometimes new surroundings are the best remedy. We have lots of Brazillians here in Ireland, a lot of them work in restaurants and bars. Or you could get on a plane here with no money and just go live in a temple.

Hello Kimbo responding to you about this; I didn't have my entire family murdered, but I already had an uncle killed in the 90s for having fights with criminals in the area where he lived. They killed him in the back.

My father and uncle were also involved in the world of crime at the time, but my uncle was unarmed when a guy from the gang he had picked a fight with arrived armed.


Yes Kimbo I would move to a new country to gain some peace of mind. I confess to you that I love my country but there is also a lot of inequality here and violence.


Yes, I met a friend of mine who previously lived in Ireland and worked in a restaurant.

Is your desire for revenge with people involved in crime?

You want to know how to reduce the crime and violence where you live? Create community. Take a few hours out of your week to go pick up trash or sweep the alleyways and sidewalks in your neighborhood. Other people will see you doing it and some will go out there and help you. Now you're meeting your neighbors and you're all active in keeping your piece of the town clean. The criminal element is less inclined to be in there.

And the biggest thing you can do to get rid of the crime and violence is to go invite kids to go with you to the gym and take training seriously. If not lifting weights, playing soccer, boxing etc etc. Positive activities that keep them out of trouble and busy so they're not associating with the criminal element or doing drugs.

I do admire the sentiment in your recent posts, Honkey Kong, but some communities you just need to get out of. Davi, I don't know how bad it is where you live, but if cartels are kidnapping police officers and leaving dead bodies hanging from bridges then just pack a bag, grab your passport, and come to Ireland.
