I think it is absolutely false that revenge is justified when someone beats you or insults you on a daily basis. I believe that revenge is something that can never be justified no matter how bad someone treats you or how bad a situation seems to be. By seeking revenge and trying to get that person back for what he/she did to you will just make you as bad as that person. You will be causing that same person the same pain you went through and even though that person didn’t care about how you felt, trying to get revenge will just make you a hypocrite. I think that the best thing to do is try to prevent future problems with a person that’s causing you trouble and try to talk with them about how you feel.
I also think that it is false that an adopted or foster child will never be accepted as a “real” member of a family. It doesn’t matter if that child is not genetically related to his/her foster parents. All that matters is that their foster parents love them as much as they would love a child of their own. I also think that it is false that children are responsible for their parent’s mistakes. Parents are mature enough to know what they do and the decisions that they make. I just don’t think children have anything to do with whatever decisions their parents make and even if they do have an influence in their parent’s decisions, it is the parents that make the final decision and they are the only ones responsible for their mistakes.

rhina,
i answered those survey questions exactly how you did! the one i was interested in was the adoption question. children who are adopted are of course accepted into their family. they may not look the same, but the love is the same. i know some people who are adopted and they are loved by their family. all you need is people around you who love you and happiness comes as a result :)
jamie :D
heyy rhina,
i totally agree with your thoughts on revenge. i also believe that it is a bit abstract because it is a compilation of actions done to someone, but those actions are not clearly defined as insults or pranks. also, seeking revenge on someone definitely makes you just about as bad as them, so i agree with your advice on just ignoring the person instead. so yeah good post! :)

Yeah, I totally agree. Revenge is never justified. (Hmm... this topic is reminiscent of Malcolm and his anti-white racism...) You should always look for ways to resolve your issues peacefully. If you reciprocate someone's misdeeds, then you are just stooping to their level. If you handle things peacefully, maturely, then you are the better man (or woman).
I totally agree with your points on adoption and parental mistakes. I have two adopted friends, and their families treat them the same as they would their biological children. They adopted them because they love them as their own. Also, you cannot blame someone for something they didn't do (Hmm... Malcolm and anti-white racism again...) If someone's father committed a crime, the child is not responsible at all. People are responsible for their own mistakes, no one else.
I agree with everything you said in this post! I think revenge is never justified, and I never think revenge is acceptable. There are better ways to deal with things. I think that when parents adopt a child they need to treat them as if they are a real member of the family. An adopted child needs to be treated the same as any other kid.
hey Rhina!, I totally agree about your opinion on revenge. No matter how much someone hurts or insults you, revenge will do nothing but make you feels worse. sure, if someone deeply hurts you, you'll be very compelled to get them back for it, to make them feel your pain. but if you seek revenge to make that other person understand your pain, then it is completely pointless. if that person didn't care to try to understand the repercussions of his/her actions in the first place, then they're probably not going regret it even if they also feel your pain. i can't think of anytime were i got revenge for petty things, and i actually felt good afterwards. i just think if someone gets satisfaction out of watching others in pain, then they should really go see psychiatrist cause there is something very wrong with them
