Question

Debate in favour of "an eye for an eye would the whole world blind".?

Answer 1

The irony is that "an eye for an eye" was actually a decrease in damage from the standards of the day, which were more like Sean Connery says in "The Untouchables," "He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue."

Your question isn't clear. Is the favourable position that the statement is true or that we should be aiming to create a blind world. It's also more philosophical than community service. Many do-gooders prefer action to improve things over abstract arguments about philosophical positions so you may not get much response here.
