Eye for an eye

Power is a great deterrent and one must have it. But engaging in an eye for an eye is mostly a sign of insecurity and bad intent.

Also, the real powerful and wise ones use the weaker representatives as a pawn in the eye for an eye game. So for those who fall for the illusion of power and are ready to sacrifice themselves, they should rethink if in fact, they are not being used as a tool in the hands of the powerful who are themselves keeping safe while inciting others.
