Because I can't help but wish stress on those, especially the Trump's, who are tearing our country apart.
God knows the stress the majority in our country are going through with him in the Whitehouse.

Wishing stress on people who should change is very positive

(115,869 posts)God help me, it's terrible karma, but I do not want these people to be happy or enjoy their jobs for a single minute. I don't want them to sleep well - I don't think guilt will keep them awake, but worrying about indictments sure might. I want their blood pressure to be measurable in pounds per square inch. I want them to wet their beds and bite their nails until their fingers bleed. I want them to grind their teeth down to the gums and get ulcers and hives and migraines. And I want them to have recurring nightmares about grand juries and prisons that make them wake up screaming.

The Wash Post's former editor Ben Bradlee's widow Sally Quinn knows how to put hexes on people that work. I wish I knew her secret.

(3,913 posts)I'm the first to admit that there have been many times in my life that I've wished ill on others. I'm sure I will again in the future.
But yes, it is bad. If you can live with it, then it's nobody's business but your own. If you later feel a need to atone for it, that's also nobody's business but your own.

(9,782 posts)I believe its a persons way of handling their own stress, wishing stress on the people or person that stressed them. Transference I believe its called.
If it doesn't harm them and it helps you handle it. Relax its ok.

(1,714 posts)because karma's a bitch.
I remember the posts here the morning of election day. I literally cringed at some of the posts saying how people were going to be sore winners, flaunt, blah, blah, blah, because they were so sure that HRC would win. I had been sure, too, but I wasn't vowing to make other people miserable. There had to have been a LOT of crow eaten. Just sayin'.
