Hatred & Revenge

“Hatred and revenge is when others are more important than you.”

According to Theory of Self-Relativity, hatred and the need for vengeance, or to actually commit to taking revenge, are the epitomes of extreme externalation.  If we hate someone or if we are thinking about taking revenge, let alone if we commit to doing so; this means we are so enamored and focused onto others that we are completely ignoring our own Self.

Externalation, as termed and defined by Self-Relativity, is “one’s external focus with other-people or other-things in order to avoid and distract one’s Self from observing and recognizing one’s own weaknesses”. Therefore, if we hate someone so much that we have the need to take revenge, we are completely overlooking the things that we need to improve about our own Self. Hence why, Theory of Self-Relativity further states:

“Although success is best revenge; truly successful people do not become successful to take revenge.”
