    Eye for an eye is a misunderstood quote.

    It actually means tolerance.

    It means you can only take what was taken from you.

    The Middle East has always had an issue with being barbaric. It was intent to mellow it out.

    • Get this racist bullshit outta here, the middle east is literally one of the cradles of civilization and throughout its history has been a place of tolerance and learning, the barbarity overwhelmingly comes from the outside

      You’re also using an example of one of the earliest law codes we know to show barbarity, fucking unreal
