This is an area in which karma becomes murky and too profound
to really be sure of what is going on. If someone hurts me, I will
NOT feel better by knowing that that person is suitably punished.
I am not vindictive nor do I insist on "justice" in the sense of an
eye for an eye.  I would, in fact, forgive the person in the hopes
that the person would then learn to forgive others.  In a sense,
we are all "victims" in this world--victims of our own ignorance.
