Though about the revenge

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There is nice thing about the hate and anger in the Holy Bible. The thing is about that the revenge will stand for two or three generations from the crime. This is the thing, what many poet and historians and philosophers have thought. Why are the words set like this? Doesn’t those people who wrote those worlds can mark the thing on the papyrus, what can stand a long time?  Or why the revenge will not happen example in five generations? Is there some reason for the limit that revenge in three generations?


Of course, I can imagine the situation, where somebody kills the grandfather of the family, and in that kind of case, there were three generations, what knew this person. The grandfathers son, the grandson of this grandfather and if this man had own son, there is a possibility, that the grandson’s son will become the avenger for the crime, in the case that the grandson has made his son in very early age, and all the persons who are in this list have gone marrier in the young age. In this case, three generations below the victim have the personal relationship with him, and the real hate needs personal relation in the case for becoming the real revengers.


But this case is very marginal, even if that text had been written in the Roman empire, where people were younger when they get to married. If the reason for the revenge might be some text in the archives, but if those texts were stored properly, they might stand generations and even the modern investigators can read those texts, and the question is what kind of files will be terminated in three generations?


Is it some special chemical papers, what could stand for only 180 years, before air will terminate the text of the papers? There is one great weakness in this particular theory. The people must be sure, that the papers are real, but even in this case will most of those people lost their personal relationship with the victim makes that kind of revenge good example of the performed hate against some people, by the people who don’t even know the victim.


Another explanation is very weird, and I don’t even believe that myself. The thing is that there is some kind of electromagnetic record, what is recorded to the iron wire what is stored in the Baghdad battery, and when the record will be lost it will not have the function of the motivation of the avenger, but this is only one philosophical writing. Of course, that thing is not ever happening, but in some SciFi-books is mentioned, that maybe some priests or leading class members took the EEG for the investigative and educational purposes, and if one of the leading class people will die in violent situations, those memories will transfer to another person, because this thing needs revenge. But this part of this writing goes too far from the real life.
