An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind - Mahatma Gandhi
No. I do not believe in 'eye for an eye'. I believe in forgiving those who hurt or insult me.

An eye for an eye is the principle that a person who has injured another person is penalized to a similar degree, or according to other interpretations the victim receives the value of the injury in compensation. According to Jewish interpretations the victim in criminal law gets financial compensation based on the law of human equality eschewing mutilation and 'lex talionis'.The English word talion means a retaliation authorized by law, in which the punishment corresponds in kind and degree to the injury, from the Latin talio. The phrase "an eye for an eye" is sometimes trivially referred to using the Latin term lex talionis, the law of talion.

Eye for eye is an act of vengeance in equal degree.
I cannot discard it altogether especially, when a nasty person has to be treated to protect my own interest and security. But as a matter of general policy I don't endorse it. There are many ways to treat a rogue. Eye for eye should be the last resort. But I admit, I am not always capable of giving an eye for eye treatment.
