:: "Vengeance is a lazy form of grief" ::

Something taken from 'The Interpreter", starring Nicole Kidman. Quite a good movie...

"If someone is murdered, a year of mourning ends with a ritual that we call
'drowning ritual'. There is an all night party beside the river, and at
dawn, the killer is taken out in a boat and dropped into the water. He is
bound, he can't swim. The family of the dead has to make a choice, they
can let him drown or they can swim out to save him.
The [tribe] believes that if the family lets the killer drown, they'll
have justice but spend the rest of their life in mourning. But if they
save him, but if they admit that life isn't always just, that very act can take
away their sorrow. Vengeance is a lazy form of grief."
--- Sylvia Broome
