One cannot find profit in revenge.

It all depends on if you mean personal or monetary.

Obviously tangible things can and will be gained. But the underlying issue that forces such a strong emotion as revenge cannot be met and repaired by engaging in the act.

The only way to know that, is to try. Some actions deserve payback, regardless of just how you do it.

"Were that there more who agreed with you, sir."

Many do. Unfortunately much more do not.

Really? I've gotten plenty of revenge profits. Usually when people pay me to get it for them.

Monetary gain is something entirely different. Unfortunately such exploits can be quite lucrative among some.

Counselor.

Why is that, sir?

Because no matter the result, no action done in retaliation can repair what underlying dark emotions might have caused such a need for vengeance. It takes something much more intimate than an act performed in anger.

Who is seeking revenge?

[tea-earlgreyhot.livejournal.com]

I have encountered many who do so. However, I was thinking of a run-in I had awhile back with some Ferengi who sought to exact revenge on me.
