Revenge.................the art of it

Recently read some interesting articles,essays on this topic. In some it is advocated that revenge is justified as the wronged person gets the satisfaction of redress. But for that to happen revenge has to taken by first making the person know by name and action that you have taken revenge. Because to revenge silently does not give so much satisfaction!!

Another school of thought says that revenge is only possible by rising above it and letting the wrong be ignored as this gives the wronged person a better and cleaner feeling as it showers peace and God's blessing on him.This school of thought enjoins us to forgive and forget. The wrong done can never be righted and one should rise above such petty comeuppance and pardon the wrong doer.

One more philosophy says that to pardon the wrong done by a acquaintance is still an option but wrong done by a friend should never be forgiven or pardoned. A treacherous and faithless friend can never be pardoned as he is more detrimental than the other.

My question to all readers is what is more beneficial to let go Or to take revenge and then let go?

Why are we always in such great hurry

You all will agree that it's a common phenomena, an almost natural tendency in all age groups.The moot question is,why???

The small infant is in tearing hurry to grow up
The child is in a hurry to finish whatever he is doing and play,enjoy
The young adult is in a hurry to pass out and take a job,fall in love,marry
The adult is in a hurry to amass a bank balance,make a house,buy some luxuries,retire comfortably
The middle aged is in a hurry to see his children marry,settle down and maybe enjoy his grand children
The old are in a hurry to meet his creator
Who knows, perhaps we are in a hurry to get reborn, in the nether world too?

It is never ending.

What is it that makes us hurry so much,always wanting to outdo others,ourselves in this rat race.Deep down we are all looking for that 'something' that what we think will give us happiness. We think we will be happy if we get this, then something better and bigger comes along and we start thinking of that as what we want.
In contrast nature is never in that state, maybe that makes for its permanence in a bigger sense.Even the most scorched piece of earth is patient enough and there comes a time when it gives rise to shoots.
Let us strive to be happy,enjoy and savor our everyday moments rather than hurry for a future which we haven't seen and in the process lose our present.
