Basically for two reasons.
1- It gives the perpetrator a taste of their own medicine and may make them think twice about doing it again.
2- It makes the victim feel good. And there's nothing wrong with that in my "Book".
You can walk away and "turn the other cheek" (if you're a practising Roman Catholic) or you can respond with "an eye for an eye" (if you're a follower of the Jewish faith)

revenge is a squaring up on somebody who has done you wrong,,it is not good,but sometimes it is the only avenue open to a person,,i was sacked from my job of 17 years a year ago,and i believe it was unjust and uncalled for,i got no happiness from unions,i relize i can not go and bash the mongrels concerned,but if i was to see them walking on my side of the road,dont know,,but i still dream about doing a lot of bad things to them,,,my absoulte hate for them may or may not go away,but i doubt it,,but i do hope the dreams do go away,,,i grew up with hate,,then it went away,,but these sons and daughters of @#":^#** have certainly brought it back with a vengence.....>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

All forms of attack are meant to kill. Usually as a result of perceived threat or misplaced source of injury, threat or loss. Fear, as a response to attack is an emotional and a physical expression meant to fend-off and reduce the attack by presenting injury, overly expressing weakness and terror while sometimes fanning defeat for advantage.
When an attack is met with simple fending, the message the attacker gets is that they are the weaker opponent and are being treated as a child.
Being defeated (and not killed) gives the one who was defeated the opportunity to reconnoiter their dystopian state and response.

in answer to your question revenge is the same as attack. Peace does not come from attack.
My relationship with the US Gov is a standoff that is not understood and misunderstood. Without dialogue there is no meaningful progress. Policy is an inhuman set of principals that are guidelines for order removing the humanness of such a process.

Many take revenge in order to "get even", myself included. I cannot stand by and let people, corporations and governments hurt me and do me out of money. I'll sue just about anyone or entity in this regard. It's juicier and cheaper doing it myself and more gratifying than using a lawyer or lawyers.

Like my mom used to say , " You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.You can send a boy to college, but you cannot make him think "
I asked a dangerous predator what he would do if someone stole credit for his accomplishments, what he would do.He thought about that for a few moments and answered "I would kill them", he said. Jesus said" do to others as you would have them do to you." I seriously considered this when he stole credit for my accomplishments. Dangerous is dead and he will never return here again, so get over it.
