Mitä tarkoittaa
Vengeance, or kosto in Finnish, refers to the act of inflicting harm or punishment in return for a perceived wrong or injury. It is often driven by a desire for retribution and can manifest in various forms, including physical retaliation, social ostracism, or psychological harm. The concept of vengeance is prevalent in literature, mythology, and history, often explored as a moral dilemma where the pursuit of vengeance may lead to a cycle of violence and further conflict. In many cultures, vengeance is seen as both a natural human impulse and a dangerous path that can compromise one's ethical principles.
