I don't usually watch TV, since I don't have cable. I do catch a few shows online.
So I was pleasantly surprised to get caught in a show that started last season called "Revenge." I watched Season one a week before the new season started.
The show is well written, has excellent actors, and an intricate plot line that keeps viewers intrigued. [The actor to really watch in the show is Gabriel Mann; he reminds me of a young James Spader and his character gets to deliver some of the best, ironic comments.]
In watching season 1, I discovered an important lesson. Revenge causes pain, chaos, confusion and much suffering to yourself and to the people you care about. In Revenge, Emily Thorpe is living many lies. By living these lies, she has to lie about who she is, who she loves and many times betrays her friends as well as her own best interests.
The show Revenge illustrates that when you live a life of revenge, you become what you seek to destroy.
The ultimate lesson us mere mortals can learn from this show is that love and acceptance is the only way to be free from all that shackles us in our past. If we try to implement revenge to our "enemies", we only succeed in betraying and hurting ourselves.
"Revenge" is a show that shows how we need to forgive, love and sometimes just walk away from those who have hurt us. That is how you find the road to self acceptance and love.
