But you,an ill-favored and contemptible insect who delights in suckinghuman blood, I wish that I could have killed you even if I had incurred a heavier penalty. Gandhi states An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Also, in the fable it states that “The Bald Man replied, “I can easily make peace with myself, because I know there was no intention to hurt. In particular, he studied the great neglected commandment: Offer no violent resistance to one who does evil. Then the fly beings to say you see what you did to yourself simply to get revenge for something that is not so deep instead of forgiving me. In the next paragraph, I am going to introduce the person who said :An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.Mohandas K. It could be also interpreted as, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Escaping, the fly said mockingly,”You who have wished to revenge, even with death, the Prick of a tiny insect, see what you have done to yourself to add insult to injury?…” This quote means a fly bit a man on his head he tried killing the fly but the fly was already gone. Literally, if one takes someone’s eye out, and the person whose eye was taken revenges, they are both going to be blind. In the fable, it states that “A fly bit the bare head of a bald man who endeavoring to destroy it, gave himself a heavy slap.
Also, he does not mind if he hurt himself really bad because it is easier to forgive yourself then someone else that caused you pain. The Aesop fable “ The bald Man and The Fly” is about revenge because he does not care if he hurts himself all he cares about is getting back at the fly for hurting him. It’s all about understanding, though it may hurt at. The world would be very sad and would self-destruct if we didn’t have the same ability to forgive as we do to make mistakes. Is it worth a lifetime of pain and misery just to get back at a person or is it better to live your life to your fullest potential? In the Aesop “The bald Man and The Fly” and in the short story “Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe discuss the theme of revenge which show that they would do anything in their power to punish the person that did them wrong even if it consumed them. So, the expression an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind makes sense when we look into the deepest part of human existence and its ability to self-improve. This quote relates to the theme since it shows how revenge can compound issues worldwide, and revenge could continue conflicts until everyone is involved. In particular, he studied the great neglected commandment: 'Offer no violent resistance to one who does evil.' So we studied it too: 'You have heard it said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,' but I say to you, Offer no violent resistance to one who is evil. “A eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,” by Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi read from Matthew 5-7, every day, for the last forty years of his life.
