I beg to differ. The purpose of revenge is to make sure the guilty party doesn't visit that wrong on another.
@draken @tinydoctor @skeletor that's not revenge. Revenge is retaliation, not protecting others. Sometimes they happen at the same time, but they're different things.
@dr_a @tinydoctor @skeletor
Two things can be true at the same time.
@draken @dr_a @tinydoctor look yall your both right im just tryina murder less you know?
@skeletor @draken @tinydoctor a commendable goal!
@dr_a @skeletor @tinydoctor
Who said anything about murder, Lord Skeletor? How will you teach that imbecile Randor a lesson if he's dead?
@skeletor @draken @dr_a I have murder in my heart. We all have murder, and the desire for revenge (vengeance if feeling righteous), in our hearts. We are complicated creatures and we have a lot of things in our hearts, but murder is part of the mix. Anyone who denies this darkness in their hearts I personally would not trust within grabbing distance of a firearm or flaming sword. But restraint indulging murder is desirable.
@tinydoctor @skeletor @draken i tend to agree, which is part of why i consider revenge to be a thing apart.

@skeletor

The best revenge is when they realize that they are not worthy of your vengeance.

@skeletor nah, it seems to be spreading rot to everything around it.
@skeletor In a collection of his best games, Anatoly Karpov, the former Chess World Champion, gave a game in which his whole strategy was based on attacking a weak pawn. Eventually his opponent gave up defending it hoping for counterplay elsewhere, and Karpov--didn't take it. His annotation on that move was, "Why hurry? Why worry? Fruit will ripen of its own accord."
@skeletor Are we living in the same dystopia? Rotten fruit is rewarded if left to it's own deviced
@somekindofgarf Quite right ,we could die of old age waiting for anything to happen.
@skeletor always hold an individual to an appropriate standard not everyone deserves a response just an I told you so🙎🐺
