After reading about Daniel's long battle for revenge, I do not think it is justifiable to kill so many to get even for one persons' death. In the case of Jozef, justice was not served and so he lived his life tormented by not being able to take vengeance for his mother's death. Which one of these situations was handled correctly?
Why is it that I feel more sympathy for Jozef. Perhaps because it is more within the context of life as I can relate to it. Somehow it seems surreal to imagine a "tribe" of warriors going after one another for the death of one person in surroundings I cannot fathom.
Jozef's family was killed by one person, and that person was eventually freed. I can see how he would live his life with regret that he could not save his family. The stories of the Holocaust and the persecution of the Jewish people during World War Two always stir up feelings of anger; I have met people who "hid" themselves and others from the Nazi's. That too, is surreal, but within the context of my understanding.
