Revenge

The court in Iran did pass an interesting judgment - an eye for an eye.

This raised eyebrows and caused a flutter among many. The crime was horrific too - acid was thrown on a girl's face by a spurned lover. So the girl demanded justice and demanded that it be delivered in the way she wanted. She wanted the man to feel the same pain as she did, for over 3 years.

She wanted to disfigure him by using the same acid as was used on her.

Some people cannot have their revenge. Some people are forgiving because they feel better when they do so. Some say, they feel liberated. A young boy murdered a classmate and went to jail in China. The mother of the murdered boy went mad in rage and for 3 whole years she thought of killing the boy and his entire family. It took her three years to accept the fact that her son is gone. She visited the boy in jail who broke down almost immediately. Today, she treats him as his own son and visits her in jail. "I feel liberated", she says.
