Aomame reflects on a quote attributed to Winston Churchill, emphasizing the futility of revenge. She suggests that such actions often lead to more harm than good, pointing out that Churchill's comment was actually born from a context relating to financial struggles of the British Empire rather than a deep moral discussion. This highlights how even profound statements can lose their ethical weight when tied to specific circumstances.
The conversation illustrates Aomame's perspective on revenge, suggesting it as a largely unproductive pursuit that can leave individuals with more pain than satisfaction. By relating the quote to historical economic issues, Aomame critiques the application of moral arguments in justifying negative actions, reinforcing her belief in the consequences of such motivations.
