Revenge is a harmful action against a person or group in response to a grievance, be it real or perceived. It is also called payback, retribution, retaliation or vengeance; it may be characterized as a form of justice (not to be confused with retributive justice), an altruistic action which enforces societal or moral justice aside from the legal system. Francis Bacon described it as a kind of wild justice that does... offend the law [and] putteth the law out of office Detractors argue that revenge is simply wrong, of the same design as "two wrongs make a right. Social psychologist Ian Mckee says the desire for the sustenance of power motivates vengeful behavior as a means of impression management: People who are more vengeful tend to be those who are motivated by power, by authority and by the desire for status. They don't want to lose face. Revenge dynamics Some societies encourage the revengeful behavior which is called blood feud. These societies usually attribute the honour of individuals and groups a central role. Thus, while protecting of his reputation an avenger feels as if he restores the previous state of dignity and justice. According to Michael Ignatieff, revenge is a profound moral desire to keep faith with the dead, to honour their memory by taking up their cause where they left off. Thus, honour may become a heritage that passes from generation to generation. Whenever it is compromised, the affected family or community members might feel compelled to retaliate against an offender to restore the initial balance of honour that preceded the perceived injury. This cycle of honour might expand by bringing the family members and then the entire community of the new victim into the brand-new cycle of revenge that may pervade generations.
