Do you want justice, or do you want someone else to suffer?

There are people you have perfectly good reasons to want stripped of power, money, or the ability to cause harm. That isn't necessarily envy. Demanding accountability for specific actions is reasonable. But it helps to be able to name those actions. And say what remedy you would consider sufficient. If returned money, an end to the harm, or a fair hearing isn't enough—if they absolutely must lose everything, suffer, and never recover—then your demand may contain more than concern for those harmed.
