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.
Cruelty for revenge’s sake, I’d say.
Not even. The hangman, John C. Woods, was probably a sadist who simply enjoyed killing people slowly, unfortunately.
Oh, shit. At least he did that to literal death row Nazis.
Yeah. One of those occasions where it’s like, sick fuck, but no tears for his victims either.

But it tastes sweet, like cotton candy in the mouth.
revenge often gains nothing.
sometimes it gains a lot.
