Vengeance is how righteous people are seduced to evil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because vengeance dovetails perfectly with justice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a just person sees injustice being done<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are filled with anger and will seek to stop it if they can<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is right to fight injustice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And It is right want evil to be punished<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But border between the nations of good and evil isn\u2019t a fence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a mountain range<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild, Confusing and Dangerous<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the struggle to overcome evil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We find that our righteous anger has become malice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That the measure of justice has overflowed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And our principled joy has become the suffering of our enemy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victory of evil is not the destruction of the innocent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the destruction of innocence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereby the impulse to do good is corrupted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Into the impulse to do harm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
