Right before I read this piece I was watching a fictional work which had a vengeful character that didn’t fit the description of vengeance in the monologue. The character is (seemingly) motivated by a perceived wrong (originally) not against themself, but an “injustice” wrought by “society/the world”. Thus, rather than trying to return things to an old equilibrium, they are trying to set things “right” for the first time (they don’t seem aware of a time when things were different), so things go differently in the future.
