Vengeance is mine!
January 27, 2009
“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written. Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” -Romans 12:19
Definitely one of my favorite quotes. No I’m not religious. I keep trying to figure out why people keep saying “What goes around, comes around”, does it ever come around? Sounds like they are talking about a boomerang or something.
We are forced to believe in ‘Divine Justice’. Personally I like the concept of revenge – “Revenge is a dish best served cold” originally from the 18th century novel Les liaisons dangereuses. This is beautifully played out in two of the best movies ever made, The Godfather & Kill Bill. Each time I see Don Michael Corleone succeed in his vendetta, it feels great.
Godfather
Oh and the best line ever – “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse”, again from Godfather but you already knew that right (I hope!).
I wouldn’t leave it up to God, to take revenge on my behalf…would you?
