LEV657 Finally, the key to the reason that the urge for revenge and the urge to retain a grudge should be overcome and forgotten comes from the verse itself that prohibits this sin. It is not an accident that the commandment to love one's neighbor as oneself is placed at the end of the verse prohibiting revenge [this verse]. Since no one would want anyone else to commit revenge against him or her for something he or she did, so too, no one should not (sic) take revenge against any individual who feels wronged and who feels as though he or she deserves the right to take that revenge. Because this is so difficult to do, it is the ultimate test of the verse to love one's neighbor as oneself. Any Jew who can bury this urge and not commit revenge can be said to truly love someone else as much as he loves himself.
