REVENGE AND CONSEQUENCES

When people choose to pursue a someone or something that they know is immoral or unethical to purse they need to be prepared for the consequences of their choice.  Psychological health really plays no bearing and by no means should ever stand as an excuse.  Too many times do people use a diagnosis in attempt to deflect or subvert consequences.  We see it all the time when people plead "not guilty by reason of insanity".  I have seen attempts to attach labels to the consequences such as revenge.  Most recently and laughably an acquaintance posted some incoherant rambling on that very thing...
"Revenge is a dish best served cold......... Why? Becuase it is a left over that no one wants. It has been sitting in the back of the fridge waiting for the moment that it can be served. There is no gain in revenge. It is a shelfish act. Revenge is a dish that should be served warm. A warmth that invites you in to make you feel comfortable. A warmth that makes you think..... what the hell did I do that for in the first place. One that makes you know that your actions should have never been. Not a eye for an eye. Not do unto others what others do unto you. You may question yourself taking the right road. But nothing worth having comes easy." 
Revenge is defined:

1. To inflict punishment in return for (injury or insult).
2. To seek or take vengeance for (oneself or another person); avenge.
3. The act of taking vengeance for injuries or wrongs; retaliation.

 Consequences do not equal revenge.  Consequences should make one think, "what the hell did i do that for in the first place."  Consequences "are the right road" and the wisdom that having to live through the consequences is not easy and is very much worth having.  Truth is however, in a sick mind one looks at consequences of their wrong decisions and actions whether via law enforcement, employer, friends, family or strangers as revenge. This is a result of the Anti-Social Personality Disorder in which one never takes responsibility for their actions.  The ASPD individual cannot process that their will always be negative consequences for their actions.  If they (rarely) do something good they will gladly accept the praise and will make sure the world knows what they did while in the same breath trying to make an authority(such as police) look evil for not providing assistance for example.  They do something that is social, morally and ethically wrong then when the negative consequences come forward, they will jump, rant and rave that they did nothing wrong and maintain it wasnt their fault.  So much like a toddler in that their brains process the information the same. 
If someone initiates injury or insult then they should expect uncomfortable CONSEQUENCES.  Call it revenge... Call it whatever.... The fact is when you engage in illicit activity expect punishment.
