I’m just musing here, but isn’t revenge just another form of cruelty? Revenge gaines nothing, it loses more. It only achieves itself but then evaporates like cotton candy in a raccoon’s hand.

Revenge can be cruel. But it doesn’t need to be. One is getting back at someone who wronged you, the other is revelling in inflicting a wrong to someone. Different concepts.

Not even. The hangman, John C. Woods, was probably a sadist who simply enjoyed killing people slowly, unfortunately.
