I disagree. The world would be many times more violent if revenge were the norm. Better that we outsource our 'revenge' to systems of law.
I agree that revenge is an animalistic surrender to the senses, but sometimes these things are a necessary part of life.

I kinda regard justice as bureaucratic revenge, but besides that, justice is for crimes, revenge is for non-prosecutable offences.
