My gangster why did we put on our thinking caps for this revenge slop story
The thinking cap is super glued on, never comes off, it’s exhausting. Lol. I’m grateful for this community that tolerates my late night wakefulness and inability to shut off my brain. You are all the best.
The philosophical question here is if revenge evens out our invisible karmic checkbook or if two wrongs never make a right? Is it better to allow the state to punish someone for their wrong doing even though it is traumatizing and the possibility of foul play remains? Is the best revenge the one in which you heal, move on, and live a good life? Or do you go back and vent all of the rage and injustice on the perpetrator?
There is no “correct” answer, just answers that are more societally palatable. The entire scenario is heartbreaking, but it makes for a really interesting philosophical conundrum.
