There are times when we say we’d like the Peace of God, but, sometimes, we really don’t. Have you ever had someone cut you off in traffic and you wished they get caught by the police? Have you ever had someone disappoint you and you wished them some kind of difficulty?
Okay, this may sound crazy to you, but I’ve known many people, including myself, who have, at times of stress, wished for bad things to happen.
I’ve even known people who’ve wished for “bad” things to happen to themselves so they could feel even more like a victim and get sympathy from others. It’s that old pattern of wanting negative attention if there’s no positive attention available.
Wishing for bad things to happen to someone else is more understandable for most people than wishing bad things to happen to themselves. Wishing bad things on anyone is wishing for a punishment. And that’s one of the key components of the ego thought system.
The ego thought system is one of sin and punishment. When people don’t like what someone’s done, they jump on the punishment bandwagon. People talk about punishment as a deterrent, but it really doesn’t work. Punishment is for those who blame and shame.
You may not realize it, because we often don’t wish to see it, but many people punish themselves and punish others as a way of trying to handle how vulnerable and powerless they feel. There are many subtle ways that people punish themselves and others.
As crazy as it sounds, hoping something bad happens to themselves, people are often looking to get some kind of justification for feeling like a victim, or even to punish others. When I was much younger, I definitely saw myself wishing for bad things to happen to me so that others would feel bad, that it was their fault.
Some people try to hurt their loved ones by hurting themselves. It’s definitely insane. And that’s what the ego is, pure insanity.
People feel unworthy of Love and sometimes they wish for something bad to happen to them so that people will have sympathy for them. They feel it’s the only way they can get attention or kindness. It never feels good, but, to some, it’s better than no attention all.
Wishing punishment on others only intensifies the guilt we feel, and then we feel we deserve to be punished. It’s a destructive cycle we can break out of by being aware and practicing kindness.
Loving kindness goes a long way towards dissolving the patterns of pain.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: my podcast’s topic is Redemption & Revenge. Repeating patterns of thoughts, emotions, conversations and experiences playout in our lives. Often the repeating patterns feel like a burden we cannot get out from under. Revenge and redemption are two such patterns that leave us feeling weak and disabled. In this episode, I share a practical way to get out of the weight of these vicious cycles and patterns. The Higher Holy Spirit Self lifts us high when we’re willing!
