Is Revenge Ever Justified?

Is revenge ever justified? I think it depends. When revenge is justified, it should help others in the society. For example, when there is a criminal who is selling drugs, and then the heroes have made their revenge, then that means the revenge is justified. However, when the revenge is not justified, then it is just increasing the criminal rate in a country. Also, the revenge caries greatly depending on the perspective of the people involved. For example, if the target is a bad guy or criminal, then the revenge is justified. However, sometimes the revenge is not justified because you might have killed the wrong people. Sometimes, the concept "an eye for an eye" does and doesn't apply to this idea. When this concept applies to the justified revenge, then it is worth for people to make their revenge. When the concept doesn't applies to the justified revenge, then it means that the revenger revenge for their own profit or something like that.

When Is Risk Worth Taking?


When is the risk worth taking? I think the risk is worth taking when it is meaningful. A risk is meaningful when it draws us closer to our values, our vision, or it fully realizes our core capabilities. Even though the risk is worth taking if its meaningful, but how to decide the risk is worth taking and meaningful? Some people make choices based on their emotional biases born of personal experience. If people aren't fully aware of the source of our biases, they take their risk base on their decision of reasoning. To me, I think the risk worth taking when the outcome of the risk has greater percentage of success. Also, another chance that the risk worth taking is when the situation is urgent, and there is only one choice to make in order to resolve the problem. Since there are not much choices to make to solve the problem or situation, we must take a chance to make a risk, no matter the risk is make based on emotional bias or reasoning.

What Is Friendship?

Friendship is a relationship between two people who hold mutual affection for each other. Everyone must a special friendship experience in their life. I have a special friendship, and one of them is person who have been my friend and classmate since first grade in elementary. Her name is called Joyce. We are classmate for 6 years, but after when I dropped our of school, we don't have any contact with her now. She is in Taipei Wesley Girls High School for her middle and high school. I had a great time with her when we were friend in the same school. Another special friendship that I had is with another girl called Melody Wu. We have been best friends for almost 4 years. However, after this year, she is going to US the boarding school. What can a friendship do? I think the friendship can help you on your career and job in the future, because having a friend in your life, they will be happy to help you with anything, as long as you help them at anytime when the need help.
