Revenge has a 50/50 success rate for me. A lot of the time, its a very good motivating factor. But sometimes, it is used as a shortcut, hence some of the backlash. And there's a difference in types of revenge. There's revenge=backlash instinct and revenge=need justice for wrong(Scar, Rin in Blade of the Immortal) but sometimes it's just a hateful lashing out.
