Maybe you will find this useful. Thinkers fancier than you or I have contemplated this dilemma. 😉 Imprecatory prayer, wishing harm/death/curses on another person is not ok. Deprecatory prayer, asking God to deliver us from some evil, in whatever way God deems best, is ok. & thus, I have my path. 😇
Though I am an atheist, there are certainly non-supernatural analogues to prayer!
😆 Oh, this totally fits for a non-religious approach. I just think it's great fun contemplating that religious scholars in the past have not only wished someone [you know], but wrestled with it enough to have *terms of art* for *how* to ethically wish someone [you know]. 😆😆😆
And it's not just that One Special Boy. All of 'em are awful. Grrrrrr.....
