Revenge: good or bad??

revenge is justified in EHT and much needed, as goenkas ruined everyone's life in nithya's family

but in general is keeping vengeance good or bad?

mahathma gandhi's quote

"an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"

according to this revenge is a self destructive phenomenon, and there is another saying

a person who seeks revenge should dig two graves...

if someone hurts us physically, emotionally we seek revenge and want to cause the double harm to them what they did to us...

so is revenge good??

In EHT Durga is seeking Revenge. The battle has become a personal one for her as she wants to see the downfall of Goenka's. Ideally it should have been justice for Payal. If it has been for justice she wouldn't have needed this mask. She could have been near her sister , took care of her and helped in her recovery.

She need not have to see her love rot in jail and fight attack on his life. Dr Dayal is helping her to take Revenge by hiding her identity. Wouldn't his money and status would have helped her to seek justice in the right way. I mean find clues and proofs to reopen Payal rape case in court.

She could have done the battle of justice as Nithya. It would have been difficult and emotional turmoil would have been there but still when you look back you will have a clear conscience.

Now what has happened. Has her personal vendetta helped anyone really. Has it helped Payal. She suffered one more attack. Even though her sister is alive she is deprived of that love.

Dev pines day in day out for Nithya. Even while standing in front of him the personal vendetta has ensured she cannot reveal her identity to him.

And has it helped her. She sees both her sister and lover asking her to come back to them and she has gone so much into the web now that she cannot retrace the steps. That is what personal vendetta does to you. In the end you will not be happy either as you are not sure whether your loved ones will accept you after they know what you have done.

Suchitra actually gave Durga a very valuable lesson. Value what you have that what you lost. Durga always thought about her dead parents than her living sister. She wanted to avenge their death than make her sister stand on her feet. It was about her parents insult, parents death than her existing sister's cure. It is because she now and then remembered her parents funeral she doesn't want to live if she didn't extract the revenge. If Durga had valued Payal more than anything else she would have wanted to live, her memories while taking decisions wouldn't have been funerals, insults but her sister's smiling face. And she would have once again taken the right route that is the route of law to bring the Perpetua's of crime to justice

Only justice can give peace, not revenge.

and yes as u said nithya only gave pain to payal indirectly as durga... but ppl like goenkas have to be taught an unforgettable lesson which they are going through now... both sakshi rajnath have lost their mental peace...

Wow Deepu lovely post ...Tim to CHAA gayi⭐️

Hmm I believe in The saying from Bhagwadgita , "KI bura Karna galat hai to bura Sehna BHI galat hai "

N well I don't really believe in an eye for an eye but yes someone attacks u directly , then self defence is justified

There is also the saying, the one who puts up with injustice is even a bigger sinner than the one who does it. Anyay jo karta hai aur anyay jo sehta hai...dono barabar ke doshi hain.

"In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations."

😃 I Have A Very Different Take 😃

😃 😃 😃 😳 😳 First And Foremost ; What Do We Achieve By Avenge Or Revenge ? Life Full Of Tension And Losing Our Time By Not ?Living In Peace 😃 And Above All Time Is The Best Healer Does Take Care Of Things In Its Own Way And Is A Great Leveller 😃 You Are The Winner By The End Of It All By Living In Peace 😃 Never Here On Earth Forever 😃 Just A Few Hours, Days And Years Between Life And Death 😳 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃

😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 Of Course ; Each His Own Way ; I Agree 😃 😃 Going 😃 😃 😃

Sakshi's and Raj's face was worth watching when that tape was playing and when lawyer told 2 attacks has happened on Dev's life. That's where you have to hit, take them by surprise in the head on battle.

👏exactly we are doing ahimsa if we tolerate himsa said by lord krishna himself, if we tolerate himsa behind a limit then the offender gets a message that what he is he doing is correct!

arjuna spoke of peace by avoiding war

krishna spoke of peace and non violence by engaging a war and that too the bloodiest war ever!!

beyond a stage endurance itself become violence! one must not accept violence if they do so it becomes violence itself

a person who seeks revenge should dig two graves..." I believe if you can comprehend the consequences of your actions and still live with it then your journey of revenge is valid. you can always forgive or retaliate, and yes they say it is greater to forgive, but some things you cannot forgive especially where justice has been denied in the most horrid way. here revenge is justified and like many who go on the path of revenge, they never turn out the same as they started. Durga is never going to go back to becoming Nitya, she has changed a lot (including her face) and I am pretty sure before the pre Dev phase, she knew that if she was going to get justice for payal she was never going to come out of it without being burnt since she was taking on the goenkas.

Same is the case with Durga. It is not enough she takes down the Goenka's but their crimes has to be exposed to the world. Shaurya has to convicted as a rapist, any other crime does not absolve him of that. And if he is not convicted for rape Payal is not vindicated.

If you look at MB 14th day of battle is the clear definition between revenge and justice. Arjun takes the pledge of killing Jayadratha or kill himself because of personal vendetta as he was responsible for Abhi's death. When he takes that vow he doesn't think what his death will mean to the larger good. His death would be the most demoralizing for Pandavas and they might lose the battle and thus the larger good will not be served. Abhi had to die because Arjun has to live. Arjun is who is needed for winning the battle. If he is not there dharma cannot win. Yet he took that stupid pledge. Krishna humbles Arjuna by hiding the sun and making him walk towards the pyre. Yes Krishna helps Arjuna but only after humbling him and make him understand justice is not personal vendetta.

Same is the case with Durga. Nithya has to live. In her life lies the larger good of the society. Payal had to suffer because Nithya had to fight a battle. Nithya cannot take any personal vendetta and tell I will also die killing those. No the larger good wont be served by that. That's why when she is taking decisions facing death for herself she fails. Because how much ever she wants to run away from emotional turmoil she has to face it and then live with it. Not as Durga but as Nithya.I am not telling she should not fight. She has to but not because of her personal vendetta against Sakshi , but for justice for Payal. Both looks same, but approach for both is different. One faces death, other faces life.

Same way Arjun had to live losing out on Abhi as well as his other sons post war. That is what the price you pay for justice.
