Brilliant point - And honestly, I think that's the whole point of the Rumple/Hook arc.. I think the writers are trying to show, throughout the shows major storylines that revenge is a vicious, ugly thing that just gets worse and worse as it's enacted (look at Regina, for instance). There's no peace for any of the characters, out for revenge... and those that have given it up are better off for it.

Oh my goodness, you are 100% correct! In a way, revenge is the root of all evil.
