Revenge is common in the sporting field.
Revenge is a concept that comes from the French term revanche . It is about revenge , retaliation or retaliation .
For example: “This time I was eliminated in the first round of the tournament, but next year I will have revenge,” “The Mexican boxer has already asked the champion for revenge,” “Having arrived at this place is a revenge for me.”
Examples of revenge
Revenge is usually considered a triumph that allows us to repair or counteract a previous defeat . Take the case of two tennis players who compete on the ATP circuit , as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer did. In a tournament held in March, Nadal manages to prevail over Federer . The next confrontation between the two takes place in June and, this time, Federer is the one who wins. It can be said, therefore, that the Swiss had revenge against the Spaniard.
Revenge can also be an achievement that comes after a bad moment, which can be of very varying severity, depending on the context. On the one hand, it may be a season of serious health problems that prevent a person from enjoying their life freely, after which their recovery finally comes as revenge against the disease; but it can also describe the situation of an individual who wants to organize a party for his birthday but has no money and the following year he finally finds the means to have the celebration he wants, so he has his revenge.
When there is resentment, revenge can turn into revenge.
revenge
When revenge is understood as revenge for an injury or harm that an individual suffered from another, this usually occurs in relationships and work relationships. In the first case, suppose that two people break up a courtship after a long period of living together because one of them has been unfaithful; A revenge in the hands of the affected party could be to air the former's secrets with her entire circle of friends and acquaintances, or even reveal that she had also had a secret relationship, whether true or not.
Needless to say, a revenge of this type is not exactly the most advisable thing for someone who feels hurt by the actions of another, since it will most likely add suffering due to not cutting off that painful story and moving on . Furthermore, as the old sayings never tire of repeating, "we should not do to others what we do not want them to do to us," no matter how much they have harmed us.
Revenge in the face of injustice in the workplace is also very common, especially after a dismissal that the employee considers unfair; If during your time at the company you had access to confidential information about future plans, for example, you may decide to publish them anonymously, even if this puts your legal situation at risk. Just as in relationships, it is not advisable to lower oneself and tarnish one's name to pursue revenge, but rather to look forward and look for new opportunities.
Revenge in sport and art
In many sports , revenge is part of an already established formal mechanism. There are football competitions whose qualifying rounds are defined through two matches: a first match and then the rematch. This means that, in the second match, the team that lost before has the possibility of taking revenge and achieving qualification. If the result of the first game is repeated, the same winner will end up qualifying.
“Revenge” is also the title of several films , television programs and plays, given that it is a very common term even in everyday speech, and that it presents great versatility in its meaning, since, as explained above, it can refer to sporting matches , times of good luck in personal or work life.
