Gratitude and revenge

שו"תGratitude and revenge
שאל לפני שנה 1

 
A point I've been pondering over the last day, and I wanted to hear your opinion (I didn't find that you explicitly addressed this in your post about 'revenge'). I'll formulate the points using a few points:
 
A. There is some sense that wishing that something bad happen to someone who has done something bad is a bit wrong. However, it is certainly not praiseworthy. That is, it may be that for the purpose of prevention, correction, or protection – he deserves bad. But bad as something of justice or revenge, it is not justified or therefore not worthy of appreciation and is not a matter for the person.
on. There is some intuition that when a person does a favor, he deserves to receive a favor in return. Gratitude. People see value in this, and those who don't repay favors – that's problematic from a moral perspective. And certainly those who don't think that way at all.
third. These two assumptions seem to contradict each other. That is, good and evil are opposite concepts. Since this is the case, if you assume that good deserves good (from a moral point of view), then it seems logical to want a person who has done evil to be rewarded with evil from a moral point of view. Why is this not so?
D. It is important to clarify that assumption B (gratitude) is not based on the fact that the thing is good. That is, that because the thing is good, it deserves to be rewarded. Rather, there is an apparent understanding here that when a person does action X, he also deserves to receive that X. There is some intuition of general global justice here. This is the logic. In other words, it is not that it is appropriate to increase goodness or reward motivation for more people to do good. Rather, it is a matter of legal justice on a global-value level. Since this is the case, then the same principle also applies to evil. Hence the question. In light of this, it is of course possible not to accept it and then the question disappears.
[By the way, if my analysis is correct, this could justify the concept of 'revenge'. That is, a distinction must be made between 1. Emotional revenge – there is no justification for this. Revenge in the sense of absolute justice – a person who did wrong should receive something bad. Like gratitude. That is, the same intuition of gratitude is also the intuition of revenge. And one cannot dismiss one side without dismissing the other (and vice versa)]
What do you think?

It's strange that you bring this up now. In the last class, on Sunday, I dealt with this. Exactly with this comparison and argument. This zeitgeist is quite amazing.
