if you pluck out my eye, I will pluck yours. you and I will remain single eyed. the whole world doesnt participate in our eye plucking ritual.

that poor ghandi missed out the second part of that law. tooth for a tooth. what would ghandi have said in this case? "there would be no job for dentists" ?

It is simple... if I hit you, you will not hit me back with a single blow... because once you hit me, i will hit you back. One action, will not lead to a single reaction, but to a series of events. If somebody hits you, perhaps your whole family will come to your rescue, resulting in lots of hits.
