Acabo de leer un articulo espectacular en donde se hace mas o menos un análisis antropológico del sentimiento de venganza. Pocas veces he tenido la sensación de sentirme liberado de una carga el día que cobre alguna venganza. Sin embargo, si algo he aprendido es que la venganza es un plato que se come frío.
Vengance is ours
What can tribal societies tell us about our need to get even?
Jared Diamond
We regularly ignore the fact that the thirst for vengeance is among the
strongest of human emotions. It ranks with love, anger, grief, and
fear, about which we talk incessantly. Modern state societies permit
and encourage us to express our love, anger, grief, and fear, but not
our thirst for vengeance. We grow up being taught that such feelings
are primitive, something to be ashamed of and to transcend.
