Revenge, when executed properly, is simply a return to an equilibrium state. If someone steals from you, you steal from them. If someone kills a family member, you kill one of their family members. In each case, you are re-establishing the equality that their actions have upset.
One must simply be careful not to tilt the scales in your favor, such that the other party feels a need to re-balance the situation. Killing someone for a casual insult would be an extreme example of this.
