I could not begin to estimate how many people have emailed me over the years wishing bad karma on one or all of their exes. I call it “blocking your own blessings.” Sure, being hurt, betrayed and disrespected can make even the most emotionally stable person feel some kind of way. However, being consumed with waiting for fate to take its toll on another human being only stifles your own growth.
Then there are the parents who wish ill will on the other parents of their kids. That is the craziest thing ever. If your child’s mother or father falls on hard times, so will your children. If they become ill, your children will be hurt. If their houses are foreclosed on, their utilities cut off, and they can no longer afford to purchase groceries, the children will suffer. How stupid can one be?
Recently, I saw a post about a man who refused to help his ex with her bills after her mother died and she had to use her rent money to cover the burial expenses. In his mind, it was his opportunity to get back at her for all of the things she had done to him in the past, i.e., not allowing him to see his child whenever he wanted. Now while the mother may have been dead wrong, two dead wrongs don’t make a dead right. He was actually rejoicing in the possibility that her lights would get cut off and that she faced eviction. Did this dummy not realize that his child just lost a grandparent? Did this dummy not realize that if the mother has no lights, neither will his child? That’s the foolishness that I am speaking of.
What should they be doing? They should be praying for the health and welfare of the other parent every single night so that their kids can see both of their parents thriving and happy. They should be working together to make sure that the kids have a stable, stress-free environment free of dysfunction so that, in turn, their eventual grandchildren will have the same. They should also realize that no one placed them in control of someone else’s destiny. That position is already filled.
Have you ever wished bad karma on an ex? Do you think it makes any kind of logical sense for one parent to embrace the devastation of the other? Do you even believe that karma actually exists?
