Is it bad to wish stress on others?


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.

It can motivate people to change

Wishing stress on people who should change is very positive

I also still think Trumpism will usher in a true progressive movement that might have otherwise been delayed by this country's stalemate voting.

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.

They are way too self-centered to worry about things like "the country."

If they don't care about the country they certainly care about their own asses.

And I hope they're worried sick, but they probably think they can get out of everything since they always have.

followers have no conscious so no need to worry about their stress; they aren't capable of stress feelings.

It keeps him and those who help him from harming others. If I had a voodoo doll or a nasty spell I would not hesitate for a second to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

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.

Be it good or bad, ultimately it is down to their behavior.

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

I refrain from wishing stress upon others but for trump and his cabal, I will lose no sleep over them when they go down.

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'.
