An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, conveys the idea that seeking revenge or vengeance perpetuates a cycle of violence and harm that ultimately harms everyone involved. Rather than seeking retribution and stooping to the same level as those who have wronged us, it suggests that a more compassionate and empathetic approach is necessary to break this cycle and foster a more peaceful world. Seeking understanding, forgiveness, and resolution is more preferable to the destructive nature of seeking revenge.
