It's better to strive for doing good and seeking forgiveness rather than wishing harm on others. The emotional impact of our actions can be more significant than physical consequences. While it's understandable to want justice, it's more productive to focus on forgiveness and helping others feel remorse for their wrongdoings. The idea of artificially inducing remorse or suffering is a complex issue, and it raises ethical questions about the authenticity and genuineness of the emotions experienced. Ultimately, it's essential to reflect on the meaning and significance of our emotions and actions and strive to make amends when possible.
