A T-Shirt warns that those seeking revenge should first dig two graves


This T-shirt has a design that includes the words: 
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

The design includes the clasped hands of a statue and 2 Celtic crosses -which symbolise the graveyard-like frequent negative outcomes of acts of revenge, that tend to negatively affect both parties.

Consider how vengeful acts of terrorism and war also serve to fuel fear, hate and violence on both sides.

But this is not just a warning about the consequences of physical revenge. It's about the potential negative consequences likely to result from trying to "get back" at someone over any perceived wrong. 

It's a maxim that advises us to be aware, and beware becoming a victim of our own wrath. Those who are Counselors or work in any counseling role - in particular, frequently have to help people deal with a deep seated desire for revenge.
