It is a pity the human mind can become a dark abyss.

Be careful indulging thoughts of revenge. They will subside with time, but then decades later you find yourself in a dark place again and all those re-enforced feelings will bubble up again.

Thoughts of revenge are detrimental to success. You aren't guaranteed to be successful no matter how hard you try, but you certainly can't be successful if you ruminate on revenge.

Please if you own a gun, then find a friend with a safe and give it to them. Liquidate all your cryptocurrency so you don't hire a hitman. Don't let this brief period destroy your entire future.

There are people whose children were murdered in front of them by a Nazi soldier and never got "violent revenge" and went on to live fulfilling honorable lives. Is your injustice anywhere near as bad ? Please find the strength to find a way to get through this without resorting to violence.



The world would be better off without some people. That being said, there's a big difference between the call of the void and true intent to act.

I can't imagine that any parent who saw their child murdered wouldn't at least entertain the thought of revenge. But I also see a profound power imbalance in your story. The powerful can act with impunity. Give the parent the power of reprisal and things start to look different. The child might have lived.

Perhaps there would be a bit less corruption and dishonesty in this world if there was a bit more fear of real consequences for ones actions.
