"Pity weakens the soul. Observe how children weep and cry, so that they wil be pitied, how they wait for the moment when their condition will be noticed. (...) The pity that the spectators then express console the weak and suffering, inasmuch as they see that, despite all their weakness, they still have at least one power: the power to hurt."

To have thoughts of revenge and execute them means to be struck with a violent - but temporary - fever. But to have thoughts of revenge with- out the strength or courage to execute them means to endure a chronic suffering, a poisoning of body and soul. A morality that notes only the intentions assesses both cases equally; usually the first case is assessed as worse (because of evil consequences). That's shortsighted.
