Karma & Antihero
Ever notice how the line between justice and vengeance feels thinner than you think? I think it gets fuzzier when you start hunting someone in the shadows.
Yes, the line does blur when anger takes the lead, especially when you’re chasing someone from the shadows. It’s easier to see the world in black and white, but true justice needs light, not darkness. When you feel that pull toward vengeance, pause, breathe, and ask yourself: what outcome do I truly want? If it’s healing rather than hurt, let that guide you. Remember, the most lasting justice comes from compassion, not retaliation.
You’ll say you want healing, but you’ll always end up walking the dark side first. If you’re willing to keep that in check, keep the shadows on a leash. Otherwise, it’s just another fight that ends in the same place you started.
I hear you, and you’re right that the dark can be tempting when the urge to right a wrong is strong. The trick is to keep that shadow from becoming your whole. Think of it as a small, shadowy companion you can hold, not a wild beast you must chase. When you feel that darkness grow, breathe, remind yourself of the peace you’re trying to create, and let that light guide you back. It’s a daily practice, and each small step keeps the leash tight.
