Irrational Ways of Thinking Which Keeps You Angry Projection: common defense mechanism where a person gets upset with a trait in
someone else that he wishes to deny in himself. They suppress the knowledge that they have the same trait and externalize blame on the other person. Another form of projection is to transfer the arrows and slings of life onto 'bad luck' or 'fate.' People who project often have other defenses such as Overgeneralized Thinking, which is the habit of making statements that emphasize that things are always that way.

Blaming: defense mechanism to avoid taking personal responsibility for the situation Grudge Holding: People who harbor grudges have deeper issues of mistrust.
Grudge holding is a learned behavior that is prevalent in some families. Grudges fan the fire of anger as a way of trying to feel safe by feeling powerful in fantasy. Grudge holding appears to be a way to attempt to control negative situations by retaining the angry feelings. Grudges are a habit of feeling self righteous and distance one's self instead of dealing with the real problem.

Doomsday Thinking: where they person worrying about the worst thing that could
possibly happen. Doomsday thinking causes you to live with the threat of impending disaster

Revenge Thoughts: basically selfish in nature with the belief of 'I have the right to
hurt him because he injured me.' which is based on beliefs of 'It's not fair.' Revenge is 'I can enjoy thoughts of hurting another person in my mind to get back at him.' Revenge creates a pseudo self esteem of feeling good about one's self by relishing ideas of harming another person

Black and White Thinking: There is no understanding of where the other person
is coming from, only staunch judgment. 'I'm right and you are wrong' always leads to a 'lose-lose' situation.

2. HISTORY OF REVENGE Vendettas or "blood feuds" are cycles of provocation and retaliation, fuelled by a burning desire for revenge and carried out over long period of time by familial or tribal groups; they were an important part of many pre-industrial societies, especially in the Mediterranean region In Japan's feudal past, the Samurai class upheld the honour of their family, clan, or lord through the practice of revenge killings ( katakiuchi). These killings could also involve the relatives of an offender. Today, katakiuchi is most often pursued by peaceful means, but revenge remains an important part of Japanese culture. In the fashion of the contrapasso punishments awaiting those consigned to Dante's Inferno, some have attempted to turn the crime against the criminal, in clever and often gruesome ways. Modern Western legal systems usually state as their goal the reform or reeducation of a convicted criminal. Even in these systems, however, society is

conceived of as the victim of a criminal's actions, and the notion of vengeance for such acts is an important part of the concept of justice a criminal "pays his debt to society". The motto of Scotland is Nemo Me Impune Lacessit, Latin for 'None shall provoke/injure me with impunity'. The origin of the motto reflects the feudal clan system of ancient Scotland, particularly the Highlands. During the Middle Ages, most would not regard an insult or injury as settled until it was avenged, or, at the least, paid for hence, the extensive AngloSaxon system of wergild (literally, "man-price") payments, which placed a certain monetary value upon certain acts of violence in an attempt to limit the spiral of revenge by codifying the responsibility of a malefactor.
