What do you all think of the term, "an eye for an eye"?
I know, right? Or, better yet, why not crush them before they try and get the drop on you? That's the best!

It would. An endless cycle of revenge is, well, endless.
A friend once challenged me with a question. "One person kills another out of revenge. Then that person is killed out of revenge for that one. How can that kind of thinking ever bring about peace?"
well, it shouldn't go too far
but when it's justified, yes.[The only thing that had kept Heather alive through that nightmare was the desire to end the life of the person who had taken her father's. She'd be a hypocrite if she tried to claim that 'eye for an eye' wasn't a philosophy she supported.]
[He's hoping Vanitas isn't referring to what Merlin thinks he is but...]
revenge does not help anyone. it only leads to more painwhy stop with just an eye? equivalency is for alchemists, if you're going to get revenge you should hurt them more than they hurt you.
In theory? "Something that shouldn't be done 'cause revenge only fuels more revenge blah blah". You know the drill.
... That's bullshit in practice, though.[olololololoololol YOU'RE JUST LUCKY HE DOESN'T REALLY KNOW YOU'RE MICKEY'S WIFE. Harder to tell and he never really heard of her so.]
