This category contains songs quotes that refer to revenge, particularly revenge through "violent" means. Several questions to perhaps consider with regards to revenge are:
Do acts of violence and revenge solve problems and at what expense (i.e., do the ends justify the means or does one become what they despise in the process)?
Can acts of violence and revenge set off a chain-reaction of events that lead to even more acts of violence and revenge?
Can vengeful and violent approaches to problem solving be learned from our surrounding environment (i.e., family, friends, culture, television, movies, and music)?
Can people be saturated with violence and other negative material to the point that we become desensitized, hardened, coarsened, immune, and indifferent to such acts?
With regards to these last several questions, some individuals deny or ignore that lyrics and the entertainment industry (i.e., TV, movies, video games, comic books, etc.) may have negative impacts upon influencing society, particularly children.
It is interesting how these same individuals praise the effectiveness of certain media sponsored educational initiatives such as Sesame Street. They also praise movies, TV shows, books, and music that make social commentary which they personally agree with, but are in denial that this same medium can be used to install and reinforce negative or destructive messages and ideas.
There are some entertainers that are under the false illusion that because they are generating entertainment that they are by default automatically creating goodwill towards humanity, and they ignore the consequences and deny personal accountability of any of their actions. There are some individuals who believe that entertainment is a form of escapism, and that it is up to the audience to separate fantasy from reality. They believe that because nobody physically gets hurt at the end of listening to a song, TV show, movie, etc., that entertainment is almost like therapy. Is life really so simple and one-dimensional?
But are they absolutely certain nobody gets hurt in the long run with some of the material they generate for profit? Perhaps if they spent some time talking to the victims of their co-lateral damage, and friends and families of the victims, their views may change some. Perhaps instead of being so paranoid about "big brother" these individuals should take a look and see their potential damaging impacts upon "little brother" and "little sister."
If it is true that the average teenager watches or listens to more than four hours of music a day, then isn't it possible that this high exposure rate does have some amount of influence on some (or many) of their lives?
