Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Revenge vs Justice: Is There A Difference?

July 28, 2026·41 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode of Timeless Wisdom explores the idea that the desire for revenge is not inherently bad, but rather a natural human instinct that can be a driving force for justice. Dennis delves into the complexities of punishment and justice, questioning whether the two are mutually exclusive. The discussion touches on the idea that punishment can be a form of revenge, and that this is not necessarily a bad thing. Dennis argues that the desire to see those who have inflicted harm suffer some of that harm is a noble urge in the human being. This perspective is put to the test through conversations with listeners who share their personal experiences and moral dilemmas.
