OP if you’d titled your post “Have just found out that my ex possibly has cancer,” and had gone on to explain the details but without the mention of the word Karma, the majority response would have been “couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.”
I don’t believe in Karma, but I do believe that every single person on this thread has heard of something bad happening to a bad person and has either thought the above or has actually felt nothing.
Or have you all felt sympathy for Fred West/Harold Shipman/other people outside who have come to harm in some way but who you know as having done harm to others?
Actually I’d go so far as to say that any of the virtue signallers on this thread who may have said anything in your ex’s favour if the K word hadn’t been mentioned would have been given short shrift.
We all without exception, know someone or know of someone who has done something despicable.
There are world leaders who are responsible for atrocities in others and their own countries.
Notorious murderers who have committed the most heinous crimes.
If any of those people were to come to harm the majority response would be a positive one.
When Fred west and Harold Shipman killed themselves the only sympathy I felt was for their victims who now knew that the bastards had taken the cowards way out. But I am glad they’re dead. And I’ve subsequently read that many of Shipman’s victims now feel the same.
I know at least two people who I wouldn’t give CPR to if necessary. And based on what they’ve done (talking serious child abuse resulting in life-long disabilities) I would feel no remorse.
I wouldn’t wish harm or death on someone, but thinking that it’s not a bad thing when that happens isn’t the same. It’s not you doing it.
If the bastard has fucked up his insides by playing mock suicide then he deserves what he gets. Ditto if said stupidity has led to him having cancer.
