Simply, do not seek revenge.
Means its better to have peace, than go after revenge.
Which is very true the bigger of the two will put down their fists first and come with forgiveness.
Allah Akbar!
If revenge is always fufilled, and forgiveness never valued, then all mankind will do is harm.
We must accept each others' imperfections and forgive each others' mistakes if we want to live.
an eye for an eye usually means a punishment for sumthin done.for example if u kill sum1 u get the same fate as punishment - death.so the meaning of the saying is that if we all give tit for tat punishments then the whole world will be upside down.no peace at all.

This is a commentary on the principle of retributive justice, which is deeply ingrained in Western civilization, originating in the ancient Babylonian Code of Hammurabi and passed down through Jewish scripture: An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth. In other words, let the punishment fit the crime (proportionate punishment). Gandhi's quote warns against over-zealous application of retributive justice, and is similar to a line of dialogue in the musical "Fiddler on the Roof": Tevye's neighbor wants to enact revenge against their Tsarist persecutors, recommending "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth!" Tevye, however, wisely sees the pitfalls of this, and warns, "If we all did that, the whole world would be blind and toothless!"
If everyone sought revenge on everyone else that ever done them wrong, this whole world would be in turmoil - it would cause wrongful death, wars, etc.
