Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right

We're all told that two wrongs don't make a right, but in what instances is this philosophy implied.

In English a double negative (two wrongs) make a positive (right).

In Math, it's the same concept, two negative signs equal a positive sign.

Most Science is based off of math so technically some of the same rules apply here.

Physics states that for every action there is an equal, but OPPOSITE reaction, meaning that if someone wrongs you, you're supposed to equalize their wrong with a positive reaction.

So when do we use this rule? In our daily lives? That's funny. Most people live by the "eye for an eye" creed which is basically justifying negative behavior for a negative behavior in order to set things straight.

It's funny how when we're the ones on the receiving end of the second wrong, meaning we've already wronged someone and it's time for us to get ours, we spew "two wrongs don't make a right" in order to guilt trip the person into not retaliating.
