Across the infinite expanse of existence, countless entities routinely wished misfortune upon others with remarkable consistency.
Sometimes it stemmed from envy, from seeing another possess what they themselves desired. Sometimes it came from belief that their own misfortune had been caused by that other person, making revenge feel justified. Sometimes it arose simply from petty spite or wounded pride.
So they sat in their heads and wished constantly of misfortune befalling those they resented, imagining elaborate scenarios of downfall and suffering.
What most of these entities failed to realize, in their focus on directing negativity outward, was that more often than not they were actually wishing the same misfortune upon themselves.
Exisrence had a peculiar sense of irony about such things.
