opposite of “retaliate”
What is antonym (?) for vengence/revenge?
The "?" after antonym is because the given antonyms : "forgiveness, pardon" are not what I am after, Something more along the lines of somebody does you favour and you try to get them back by doing something good.
In this context what is a better word than antonym? for example what would be antonyms for "War"? and by that I don't mean peace, it needs to be something stronger, something that poeple actively do, like getting together and building something for some other community, and in retaliation (?) another group builds/helps them in some way without being expected to do so.
Consider that in Paris there are anti-vandal(?) groups where they break into ignored/decaying historical places and restor them illegally/without permission ( the show was on PBS ).
Every word prior to "(?)" requires a better word choice in it's place
