Vengeance is the easy way

Recent events being what they are, there's a lot of talk of empathy, schadenfreude, and giving as good as one gets. Or would be given.
Both spoiler-ridden parts of a recent novel and some bits of my own life have certainly convinced me where I stand there.
But to keep it simple, I'll just say I've been given the opportunity to live the rest of my life like Jet, or like Iroh. I've seen examples of both among my peers.
I won't say the choice has been easy, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that it's the reason I'm as well-adjusted as I've been.
