Should I permit Selby to enact lethal retribution upon Lucy? The implications of such a decision resonate profoundly, drawing me into a labyrinth of ethical quandaries and emotional turmoil. On one hand, considering Lucy’s alleged transgressions raises an unsettling conundrum: can one truly support an act of vengeance, however justified it may seem? If Selby were to take drastic measures, would this act of hostility serve to rectify the grievances associated with Lucy’s actions? Alternatively, could such an act perpetuate a cycle of violence, undermining the very essence of justice itself? What are the potential ramifications of allowing an individual to take another’s life? How would it affect Selby’s psyche, not to mention the broader societal norms we uphold? Could there be a more constructive approach to addressing the grievances that lie at the heart of this conflict? What solution offers genuine closure without succumbing to the darkness of retribution?
