No they're not the same. If I damage your fence, having justice would mean I paid to repair it. Revenge would be if you destroyed my fence in retaliation. Now nobody has a fence and we have a feud.

Hammurabi's code is where we get an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and as Gandhi said "An eye for an eye ends in making everybody blind."
