Well maybe if we did it for real... like if someone stole cut their hand of like the good old days... bet they'd think twice about stealing then... eh?
It may not work, but at least I'll have fun in the process :P.

To demand revenege for every injury is to set one's self up for the same revenge. Once this requirement was intended as a clear solution for loss. One for one. Unfortunately, the second party also feels the need for atonement. Clearly, the Old Testament injunction now has a cyclical nature. You kill my brother, I kill your brother. I have run out of brothers, so you kill my son. You don't have a son, so I kill your daughter. Ad nauseum. In part, the Saudi system of Blood Money, receiving payment for the death of a loved one, makes some sense. By accepting the payment, one is essentially declaring that the issue is over.
Forgiveness is a concept that shouldbe factored in.
