idk i feel like i am very in touch in my spiritual side and i grew up with a very religious family.. i believe in God (or a higher power, whatever it means to you reading).. and sometimes when someone has done something bad to me, really ruined something for me, or is just an awful person, sometimes i pray for something bad to happen to them. i know this sounds really bad, but sometimes even death? that has only been once that i prayed that because that person has truly ruined everything in my life.. skewed my entire future path and i prayed death upon them.. is this normal? I pray for people's downfall so that they will receive their proper karma for how much pain and suffering they have caused me or someone i know..

    Comparing yourself to other people won't make you happy. Live your own life and spend your free time doing minor untraceable things to annoy this person like mailing poop.

    Its normal but sometimes you have to take matters into your hands and make them pay for what they have done.

      You are right, Jesus said, "...pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you..."

    What does karma have to say about all this?

    Careful where you tread.

    When someone pisses me off, I can't help but be pleased if I find out that they're an atheist (burn in hell).

    This is a problem that needs to be corrected, however. The Bible says, "Wish evil upon no man."

    Thinking of revenge is like drinking poison hoping the other person dies. Thoughts of revenge hurts you the most. The other person probably has no clue about your feelings.

    Stay by the river long enough and eventually you get to watch the bodies of your enemies float by.

    Ive done it before too but not to the extent of death anymore. Used to hate my uncle and prayed for something to happen and the next week he had a stroke. Now he's in a wheelchair and i haven't talked to him in years

    No one can ruin your entire future path. They can only hinder it because of time you invested (or wasted) on them. Then it's your call to do better things with your life.

    I'm not religious and I haven't even been baptized in a mainly Catholic country (apart from my pothead "Godmother" baptizing me with beer and a sign of the cross on my forehead when I was little - yes, I'm a heathen). Because of that I never really learned official prayers, except Hail Mary and The Lord's payer in all the languages I speak, for historical and cultural reasons; but I do wish people who have wronged me will eventually find their downfall, can't deny that.

    The truth is it doesn't really matter if they do or don't get "what they deserve" once you forget them and realize your own fortune matters more than their misfortune.
