Could you still claim that the DP should not be used for "revenge?" I am not implying that anyone's opinion is right or wrong but how many of you have been in a situation like that? |
Competely fair question. The fact is, nobody knows the limits to their morals until they do. But the old saying goes, "Emotions are greatest gateways to the actions that we regret later on in life," which is to say maybe its better to be calculated than to make decisions based on emotional attatchment/bias.
