As much as I would like to take revenge on whoever did this to me, the fear of inaverdently causing unwanted harm (possibly to those I care about) compelled me to vote 'no'. Wasn't an easy choice, though, as revenge is still pretty attractive -_-;

"Vae Victus -- suffering to the conquered. Ironic that now I was the one suffering. Not anything as pedestrian as physical pain. Rather the cruel jab of impotent anger -- the hunger for revenge. I didn't care if I was in Heaven or Hell -- all I wanted was to kill my assassins. Sometimes...you get what you wish for. The Necromancer Mortanius offered me a chance for vengeance. And like a fool, I jumped at his offer without considering the cost.

Nothing is free...not even revenge."

I feel that this quote is good and proper for this topic. And knowing me, I'd probably pull a Kain and go for revenge.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know...tomorrow."
