Today we know that negative emotions harm us more than the person they are directed against. Besides the emotional implications, they have a physical impact on our bodies. Revenge is an emotion which is hard to control, especially when we are hurt. It feels like we just want to get even and when we do, we will feel better. But it seldom does. It just leads to more personal and social negativity. Marcus Aurelius said so beautifully, “The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.”
