I believe that hamlets moral in this play is that revenge is worthless, the only thing that it will bring you is more pain. Hamlets revenge drove him mad, it made him lose the girl he loved, he killed her father and told her he did not love her, which tore her apart and drove her mad. And this brought a lot more pain to him, and he caused all this pain on him. He also sent two of his innocent friends to their deaths because he was crazy with the thought that they were taking him to his death. He killed Polonius and his son Laureates wanted revenge on Hamlet. Revenge is a never ending cycle with a lot of hate mixed in with it.
I believe that Hamlet made a big mistake by trying to take revenge on his uncle, He should have just put in an investigation and seen if his uncle was guilty and then put him in prison. By making this decision he caused a lot of the people he loved most to die, including himself. Revenge will backfire on you

I totally agree with you. I did my final on this topic and i think your completely right. Hamlet is just like all of us and we need to learn how to control our emotions.
