I must have a genetic mutation on this one. I'm aware of this desire for revenge, because I've read about it and I see it in people. I can't find even a trace of it inside of me.
I don't make that sort of connection with other people at all. Why would anyone care about someone else's life to that degree? If that person's life carries unpleasant associations with one's own it would seem having nothing further to do with that person would also be hard-wired into us by virtue of our membership in the animal kingdom. Avoidance is a natural behavior too.
I see superstition and this urge for "justice" as the prime movers in what makes us religious beings. Too bad about that. Really too bad. It's one of the sorry aspects of the imagined difference between being an animal and being "human".
