Vengeance is how righteous people are seduced to evil
Because vengeance dovetails perfectly with justice
When a just person sees injustice being done
They are filled with anger and will seek to stop it if they can
It is right to fight injustice
And It is right want evil to be punished
But border between the nations of good and evil isn’t a fence
But a mountain range
Wild, Confusing and Dangerous
In the struggle to overcome evil
We find that our righteous anger has become malice
That the measure of justice has overflowed
And our principled joy has become the suffering of our enemy
The victory of evil is not the destruction of the innocent
But the destruction of innocence
Whereby the impulse to do good is corrupted
Into the impulse to do harm
