I`m never interested in seeking revenge, I`ll let karma take care of it All four courts have found that revenge is not categorically exempt from First Amendment protections. Each state has argued that revenge, like obscenity, should be exempt from First Amendment protections. Each time, the courts have found that non-consensual pornography is not obscene and therefore not categorically excluded from First Amendment protections. Revenge behavior has been found in a majority of human societies. [7] Some societies encourage vindictive behavior called quarrel. [8] These societies generally regard the honor of individuals and groups as central. Thus, while protecting their reputation, an avenger feels like he is restoring the old state of dignity and justice. According to Michael Ignatieff, “Revenge is a deep moral desire to remain faithful to the dead, to honour their memory by pursuing their cause where they left off.” [9] In this way, honour can become a legacy that is passed down from generation to generation. Whenever it is compromised, affected family or community members may feel compelled to retaliate against an abuser to restore the original “balance of honour” that preceded the perceived injury. This cycle of honor could extend by bringing family members and then the entire community of the new victim into the brand new cycle of revenge that can permeate generations.
[10] Some may consider this problem “solved”. In 2015, many of the major websites hosting non-consensual pornography, such as IsAnyoneUp or U Got Posted, were removed from the internet.14 Large companies like Facebook and Google have also incorporated ways for victims to remove non-consensual pornography from their platforms.15 And with 48 states plus Washington DC and Guam criminalizing this behavior, 16 Some may think that this problem is practically solved by the legal system. The symbols of the court – the wolf, the snake and the lightning – are part of the myth of guilt and punishment. They are also symbols of the soul seeking revenge and the Olympian gods representing the rights of these individuals. Apollo is a defender of blood rights, but also God of purification of blood guilt. He incurs this guilt, but also purifies himself from it. He grants oracles about the future. He establishes standards by submitting to them: “The God who forbids and punishes murder must himself murder and be punished for it; this identification of the recipient of norms with the authority behind the norms, the God who punishes with man, who is punished, is a very ancient motive in the establishment of effective norms” (Kelsen, 1941, p. 364). It can also refer to the result of such efforts, as in After All This Time, I Will Take Revenge on Those Who Wronged Me! His path to modern popularity might begin with the 1949 film Kind Hearts and Coronets, which was a dish that people of taste prefer to eat cold. The well-known formulation appears in the film Death Rides a Horse (1967), in Mario Puzo`s novel The Godfather (1969) and as if it were an “old Klingon proverb” in the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).
The title sequence of Quentin Tarantino`s film Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) refers to the latter film by citing it again as a Klingon proverb. After that, he appeared in 2004 in the version of Man on Fire. In the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament), the administration of retaliation, unlike that found in Roman and Babylonian law, is still a tribal matter (see Deuteronomy 19:21; Lev. 24:20; Ex 21:23-25). Talion is here a legal principle that operates within the framework of fundamental legal responsibility and cannot be defined independently of the principle of fair exchange and its beneficial character for life. It is a formula for giving and receiving in the realm of authority over the clan. It is in a personal context: “If evil ensues, then you will give life for life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, band for band” (Ex 21:23-25). The word revenge can be used as an even more intense synonym for revenge, but it also usually refers to a desire for revenge, as in He Was Full of Vengeance. In the transition from archaic retaliation to revenge to official retribution through punishment, retaliation itself has become problematic. A person is obliged to exercise it, but it is prohibited; It is a right, but it also creates injustice; It is both fate and sacrifice.
This contradiction and the impossibility of avoiding it became a central theme of Greek tragedy and the Bible. This is a basic motif in biblical myth and theology. They didn`t want revenge,” said Chandler Pappas, who was standing right behind his friend Danielson when Reinoehl shot him. Indeed, Kaiser, Vick & Major (2004) point out: “An important psychological implication of the various efforts to define revenge is that there is no objective standard for declaring an action motivated by revenge or not. Revenge is a label assigned to action based on the attributions of tax collectors. Revenge is a conclusion, whether the people who draw the conclusion are the perpetrators themselves, the wounded or the strangers. Because revenge is a conclusion, different people cannot agree on whether the same act is revenge or not. [17] Guilt binds the guilty to the debtor by the conscience that accuses him and a curse that persecutes him. Guilt thus takes on an aspect of revenge, because conscience and curse exercise vengeance and yet are agents in the general order of life. They are the vengeance exercised by the gods. They represent the life force of the gods and their power to assert themselves, the need to instruct the gods to restore their own honor and fulfill the responsibilities they have on earth. Therefore, the symbolism associated with revenge is very closely related to ancestor worship, cult of the dead, belief in the soul, land ownership, and magical rituals.
Revenge has always been a popular literary theme and continues to play a role in contemporary works. [29] Examples of literature dealing with revenge include William Shakespeare`s dramas Hamlet and Othello, Alexandre Dumas` novel The Count of Monte Cristo, and Edgar Allan Poe`s short story “The Barrel of Amontillado.” More modern examples are Stephen King`s Carrie novels, Gillian Flynn`s Gone Girl and William Goldman`s The Princess Bride. Although revenge is a theme in itself, it is also considered a genre. [30] The Illinois Supreme Court then ruled that the legislation was subject to an interim review, not a rigorous review, for two independent reasons.
