Exploring the Concept of Revenge

Revenge is defined as an action taken to intentionally harm another individual perceived to have caused wrongful harm. The conversation presents various philosophical arguments against revenge, particularly its violent nature and propensity for escalation. Revenge often leads to cycles of resentment and continual harm, diminishing the possibility of resolution and moral satisfaction. The discussion further emphasizes that even a sanitized version of revenge does not eliminate its intrinsic moral wrongness, as it treats the victim's suffering merely as a means to achieve personal satisfaction.
