My family made its entire reputation on revenge. I can't count all the men I've killed in revenge anymore. Mercy is harder, but that doesn't make it better. [Hell, obeying Whitebeard's orders not to get vengeance was consistently the hardest thing he ever did and he had to do it more than once.]
Sounds to me like you're in it for good reasons, and you hardly deluded yourself about the outcome.
But you still exist here. Look, I've got your flower crown and armband done so I'm going to fly over and make you take some blood too. It might help fortify you a little with this place. So long as you live here, you have a duty to my little brother to help with this crew. I won't let you slack off in that, so accept it for what it is. You don't get to stop existing any easier than the rest of us, no matter what the reasons.
