Why do some people take revenge on others? Why aren't (sort) out our problems without we (1) able (2) seeking (get) even with those who have hurt us? ………..... Well, apparently we are simply experiencing a deeply rooted part of human nature. Our desire for revenge comes from the brain's limbic system, the most primitive part of the brain and one that we share with all animals. So when someone confronts us, we often (3) prefer verbally or physically rather than (4) try a solution together. (attack) (work out) However, unlike animals, we also possess a highly evolved cerebral cortex which (5) allows us (plan) and analyse - and this can make revenge more than just an instinctive reaction. A person who feels they have been wronged may even (6) enjoy (plan) a creative and appropriate act of revenge. When they consider they have been wronged in some way, practically anyone may (7) attempt .......(get) revenge, although it appears that older people are more (8) prepared (forgive) and forget than the young and (9) prefer (settle) their personal problems through negotiation rather than through confrontation. sis Some people suggest that taking revenge can be seen as a positive move, allowing you to work though your negative emotions. However, it can also be dangerous, and you may (10) risk (find) yourself in a situation which rapidly gets out of hand.
