so we could learn part of what self-control is and allow ourselves to adhere to something the Lord asks of us
To leave room for the Lords vengenace
Since his vengeance is just moreso than our own
2 Peter 1
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
Romans 12:19
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.

So we know what it means to crucify ourselves to the flesh and follow Christ
We are suppose to master our flesh so it doesnt master us, and thereby God is our master
And it is the Holy spirit who allows us to do this, Christ within us.
Gods word in our hearts which is the light that drives out the darkness
Galations 5:24
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
We're not suppose to seek after our own self seeking desires
We're asked to make the choice to seek God
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things will be added unto you
2 Timothy

God gave us free choice, with free choice we chose to take the desire or revenge with the tree in the garden of eden. I don't think it is correct to blame God for our existence or humanity. (I know you might argue otherwise but IN MY OPINION questions like that lead to those roads.)
And I am not sure what you are going after in the second question about biological desires. The way I read it; the questions are two of the same kind, one is just more specific and wordy...

God didn't give us the desire for revenge, that's the flesh, that He helps us battle against. I think Humor is one way to deal with anger.
Romans 12:[SUP]19 [/SUP]Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

You've been treated unkindly by someone and that has hurt you. I'm very sorry. The world is a rough place and without the Lord to buffer the pain, comfort and give us hope, the outlook is at best bleak.
Freewill is a double edged sword but God doesn't want robots so he gave us a mind to make choices,
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.
He lays out our choices
A: Life
B: Death
and He even tells us the correct answer Choose LIFE!!!
You are at an age when one a young man questions so I will pray God will give you wisdom and heal your pain in the name of Jesus, Amen.

I honestly believe that God has a good sense of humor. We read in the OT that the Jews were complaining that they had no meat to eat. What does God do and say about their complaints. He says that He will send quail for them to eat. So much that it will come out of their noses. He also inflicted their enemies with hemoroids.
