I think that if revenge does not provide any satisfaction at all, then the act would not be called revenge. Even though the degree or amount of satisfaction may differ, as long as a tiny amount of satisfaction is felt within the user, then that act would count as revenge. Otherwise, why else would the user want revenge? He wants justice or retribution for whatever happened to him or someone else, and did another thing to counteract that first event.

I think it depends on the situation, but in my opinion, I don't think that revenge and vengeance will make us satisfy. I think the revenge results are very negative towards opponent. The image of vengeance is always negative in media, literature, and real life. I think we will feel satisfy when we success in revenge, but I don't think it will go for long time. There is nothing to be happy about other people become unhappy. I also think that there is no end to revenge. It will continues in life. Therefore, I don't think the revenge will not make us satisfy. Even we can see on Hamlet. When Hamlet decided to revenge, the tragedy starts. As we know the end was sad and regrettable. Those things showed me that there is no happy or satisfaction with revenge.

As with all things, I think the amount of satisfaction provided by revenge depends on the individual. In my case, I do indeed satisfaction from revenge, for I think only I can inflict the same amount of pain that someone gave me. The justice system (whether it be a court or our parents) doesn't always truly give justice, even if our opponent was in the wrong, for our world is flawed and corrupted. I feel like to get things done properly, I have to perform the deed, even though others may consider it a lack of moral judgement.

I think whether they feel satisfaction or not, it depends on the person. Those who seek revenge have different goals than those who don't. I personally don't think that revenge bring satisfaction. They may be seeking revenge to kind of vent out their emotions but really it's the opposite. I think it's because most people think that they might feel better if they are given the chance to get back at the person who caused their anger but as long as we don't act on our vengeful feelings and make a big deal, it's easier to forget and move on in my opinion.

People say that revenge and vengeance doesn't bring satisfaction. On the other hand, I disagree entirely. Doing revenge, true, does not turn back time and stop the harm from happening, but it does give you the satisfaction that the one who harmed your close one is suffering greatly.

I personally believe that revenge or vengeance provide satisfaction, but it is very short. As the evidence, most of the main characters in revenge stories are tragedies. For example, Hamlet dies at the end when he successfully revenge to King Claudius. Hamlet’s madness on his father’s death created the tragedy in Denmark.

I think that satisfaction for revenge will only be for a short period of time, probably only right after the deed was done. Soon after, that satisfaction is going to go away. Usually, the only time we would be satisfied would be when a person who did bad to us suffers the same. That's similar to revenge and is almost like karma or an eye for an eye.

I believe, if somebody did something really bad to you, even you don't think of or taking an action to revenge, something bad will happen the same to that person which is karma. I do believe that there is a thing called karma otherwise the world is so unfair, or maybe the world IS unfair! I hope the world is not unfair otherwise, I don't want to live.
