I could give you an answer, but it could take forever, and it would not only make zero sense, but I can guarantee that it will only make you more confused and angry by the second— to the point that you’d …
Well, you wouldn’t like it, that’s for sure
I strongly suggest that you take what you have left, and move on. Vengeance =! Justice, and trying to get either in this world, wow, that’s just gonna get you dead.
The best any of us can hope for his peace, and you can only get that by moving on
