Revenge must be accomplishedName:Course:Professor Name:(November, 2012).Revenge must be accomplishedIt is so discouraging; the problem of guilt has a result of violence. Hurting and hurting people. The motivation been revenge and betrayal , this is not because human beings are naturally evil but because the idea of setting scores for survival is one of the mechanism in our today complex social society. The desire to revenge is as old as mankind and to understand is well we need to understand its root course. Remember Cain had to kill his brother for revenge! Revenge is not in men alone but even in all other primates.
