Fundamentally though it is not still about some level of revenge? Just because we got more sophisticated to take into account things like intent doesn’t really change the math. You’ve made a nice quote but drawn a distinction without drawing a difference If I steal $2k the punishment is usually still give $2k back and then all fees then even some punitive damages... |

If I kill your brother, is it proper justice for you to kill my brother?
Many crimes are irreversible; and revenge only serves to make the victimized feel better but ultimately does not restore balance. Justifying revenge quickly leads you down to inhumane punishments - after all who's to say the victim was given their fill of revenge? This is why there has always been a philosophical line between justice and revenge.
