If your child was murdered, how would you seek revenge?

I don’t think that it would be in my nature to seek revenge. I believe revenge has much more negative outcomes than positive ones. I can think of many more positive outcomes to pursue than trying to cause harm to the person who killed your child. I don’t think I’d even have an interest in harming the killer. And even if I wanted to, I’d probably find myself stopping before the harm was accomplished. The idea of harming anyone is something that I’d find troubling, because I believe in avoiding harm as much as possible. I’d want to try to help the person who harmed my child as much as I could. I’d want to understand why they did what they did, I’d want to try to heal them and I’d want to seek out people to help, such as therapy or a support group. I’d also do everything I could to bring my child back from the dead. I’d probably want to travel to their funeral and offer my sympathy. If I were to do any more than this, I might be lying to myself or lying to others. You can think of this as a whole system of my personality and
