"An eye for eye, makes whole world blind", is one of the quotes used very smartly. This quote is a great thought, but should not be true in all cases. This is true for the people who realize their mistakes and repent and hence "an eye for eye" should not be used for them.
But this quote should not be used to parden the anti-social elements who are never going to repent. Sometimes we need to ensure that no body dares to commit the same "in-human" thing and an eye for eye is necessary at times.
Recently, there was a news about a criminal, who committed the same crime again. This guy was expelled from town, but then somehow got the expulsion cancelled. After some time, he committed the same crime again. Should we give him more time for improvment (and hence risk the entire society who suffers from his crime) or ensure that he does not dare to do it again?
