About this Quote

This quote by Julian Clary is referring to the suggestion of revenge and also just how it can be a powerful incentive. He is recommending that while it is a "pathetic" motivation, it is still a powerful one. He is suggesting that people often seek retribution in order to feel a feeling of justice or to offset a wrong that has been done to them. It is a way of trying to regain control and power in a circumstance where they feel powerless. Revenge can be a dangerous feeling, as it can bring about more conflict as well as violence. It is important to remember that revenge is not a healthy and balanced means to manage a scenario and that it can commonly result in more damage than good.
