An eye for an eye, and the whole world goes blind. In a situation like that, where is the line drawn? How do you imagine a society thriving where violence begets more violence? In our society now, violence is a cycle. How do you expect this cycle to evolve when there is no consequence? How is that a more efficient world than we have now?
