Vengeance (as a concept)

Vengeance is the act of seeking retribution or repayment for a perceived wrong or harm done to oneself or others. It often involves intentionally inflicting harm or punishment on someone believed to be responsible. Vengeance can stem from emotions like anger or betrayal and is motivated by a desire for justice or personal satisfaction. While sometimes driven by a sense of moral right, it can also escalate conflicts and perpetuate cycles of retaliation. Overall, vengeance reflects a human desire for acknowledgment or balance in the face of injustice or injury.
