Well you're better than me because I have definitely relished in the suffering of those who've caused suffering. World needs less of me tbh.
I don't think it's "better", necessarily. It's partly a protective measure against empathising with people who cause suffering. Because I don't want to suffer.
Aggression against people who cause suffering is a different protection mechanism, and we are both just products of our experiences.
The world needs more people who can engage with self-awareness and evaluating their motives and actions, which you seem able to do. I wish you no suffering!
Having both types of people is important to a healthy society. The world needs paladins, those willing to wield violence in the pursuit of justice. A society without them would be ripe for strongarming by anyone with a loose set of morals and empty pockets. But we also need people like you, to keep us in check, so that the whole world might not go blind from our eye for an eye.
