revenge
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 () putteth the law out of office".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sir Francis Bacon "On Revenge" )〕
==Function in society==
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."〔Ian McKee, PhD. 2008. ''Social Justice Research'' (Vol. 138, No. 2)〕
