Vengeance means revenge or a sort of punishment on another person that a person wants to inflict for causing an injury or doing wrong. Nowadays, people want justice for all the wrongdoings that happen to them and that’s why even they take the law and order into their hands. For example, when a woman was assaulted in the public by a man, she instructed her family members to plot against the man in such a way that he will feel the pain of her assault. Another example is how vengeance is portrayed in movies or film stories.

Same way, if you see movies like the KGF series, and the Baahubali film series, you will find that the plotline is based on the feeling of vengeance.

When a child was denied the basic right of living well, he took vengeance on society and became a local don and then a gold smuggler, and then the biggest criminal in the film KGF series.

You might find cases of vengeance in real-life stories wherein a mother-in-law takes revenge against her son and husband for not helping her reach her goals by torturing her daughter-in-law and thus, creating a sick atmosphere at home. Same way, small children when they don’t get what they want and their demands are not fulfilled, they take revenge against their parents by performing badly in exams and not attending schools or colleges.
Vengeance can be treated by helping the person get another perspective on their life. For example, when you find someone who is wanting to take revenge and has vengeance in his heart for his unmet desires and demands, you can encourage them to take their anger in a more constructive and positive manner. Children if found wanting to take revenge on other students of their age or classmates, can be guided to focus their energy on studies and good activities, thus reducing their anger towards themselves and others. When negative emotion like vengeance and revenge is given a healthy outlet, it not only helps the person suffering from wanting to take revenge but also helps others who are associated with him or her.
