Human actions and introspection : Spinozian Perspective

''I have laboured carefully, not to mock, lament, or execrate, but to understand human actions; and to this end I have looked upon passions, such as love, hatred, anger, envy, ambition, pity, and the other perturbations of the mind, not in the light of vices of human nature, but as properties, just as pertinent to it, as are heat, cold, storm, thunder, and the like to the nature of the atmosphere, which phenomena, though inconvenient, are yet necessary, and have fixed causes, by means of which we endeavour to understand their nature, and the mind has just as much pleasure in viewing them aright, as in knowing such things as flatter the senses''.

Spinoza from Tactatus Politicus.

Vengeance

Resentment- He was absolutely drowned in it. His spitefulness and desire for vengeance knew no limitations. For he was wronged in such a way that his soul had been damaged beyond repair. In such a situation life presented him with a choice. Either to save his own soul and try to see the good in everything or to remain spiteful forever and explore the dark and sordid side of other people especially those who have wronged him. As expected he sacrificed his own soul for he had no desire to see the good in bad things. Such is the power of vengeance.

Power of Love.

'It is love that keeps the world together from inside'.
