5 Things I’ve Learned From Emily Thorne

If you have not seen the show Revenge , then it’s high time you get schooled in the awesomeness of the show. You can snag the entire series on Amazon. Start with season 1 here.

The main character of the show is the “lovely and beguiling” Emily Thorne played by Emily VanCamp. It’s about a woman’s attempt to get revenge on the folks that framed her father for a crime he didn’t commit when she was a little girl.

1. When you head down a path of revenge you sacrifice many things. One of those is the chance at true love. Emily’s true love is a boy from her childhood, but she can’t be with him because he is not part of her plan for revenge.

2. When trying to get revenge, you can’t even trust your friends. Having
friendships is something you really can’t afford because if they turn on
you, your plans can be ruined or altered in the blink of an eye.

3. Money makes things easier. As soon as Emily inherited millions of dollars, her hopes for a plan of revenge were easier to set in motion.

4. Many rich people are always suspicious of everyone. Getting close to them is not easy, but even when you do get close, they will stay suspicious of you.

5. Revenge can feel sweet in the moment, but forgiveness is the only hope for peace in your life. Your best hope for happiness and sanity is to forgive your enemies. Sure, never forget what they did, and keep your guard up, but let the past stay in the past and move on with your life.
