Revenge & Justice – Are they two sides of the same coin? (2nd part)

Hello everyone. Welcome to our exciting new gathering! Our primary goal is to create a space where kindred spirits come together to engage in thought-provoking conversations, and forge meaningful connections along the way. At our events, we love to delve into the profound and the curious, so you won't find us engaging in small talk. Prepare for stimulating discussions on philosophical topics that will inspire your curiosity. Plus, we'll be conversing in English, making it an inclusive experience for everyone.

This event is the second part of our discussion on justice, diving into one of its most controversial aspects: revenge. When justice fails, is revenge ever justified? Is it a necessary response to oppression and unfair systems, or does it only perpetuate cycles of violence?

Revenge is often seen as private justice, especially in societies where legal systems protect only the privileged. But does it truly restore balance, or is it driven by personal emotions rather than fairness? Many stories, from mythology to modern media, glorify avengers, but in reality, does revenge create more harm than good?

In this discussion, we’ll explore the philosophical, ethical, and psychological dimensions of revenge, questioning whether it is ever a moral choice, its impact on individuals and societies, and the alternatives to vengeance in a world where justice is not always guaranteed.

> New Attendance Policy:

To ensure that the events run smoothly and everyone has a chance to participate, I want to remind you of the attendance policy. I value your commitment to respecting each other's time and effort in organizing these gatherings. I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and plans can change. However, to maintain the quality of my events, I kindly ask for your cooperation in adhering to the following policy:

If you are unable to attend an event, please cancel your RSVP as soon as possible.
In the case of three unjustified no-shows (not canceled and no communication), a member may be subject to removal from the group.

IMPORTANT: I want everyone to express their opinions and participate at the conversation so I, as organizer, will moderate the group and I will intervene if the situation is getting chaotic, if some members have no chance to talk or if somebody will act rudely or take over the conversation. Everyone deserves the chance to talk and share their ideas, still respecting other people’s opinions, without ruining the harmony of the group.

If you have questions, you can contact me. You can still join the waiting list and I'll add you but don't forget to subscribe. It's very important. If you are in the waiting list and I haven't added you, send me a message and ask for permission.
