A man shared how someone duped his father of life savings, plunging the family into poverty. His father forgave him, but one comment said, “That’s why we all need to be wicked.” This is dangerous. Advocating wickedness makes victims suffer more and weakens social trust. Malice as a response perpetuates harm, punishes the innocent, and normalizes lawlessness. Better is vigilance, legal accountability, and community support for victims. Forgiveness can heal, but justice through proper institutions protects everyone. If we answer hurt with more hurt, we all lose. Build systems that punish fraud, care for the harmed, and restore dignity.
