retribution

Is it wrong to pray for the death of a person? What if everyone, and every community that said person is in contact with, will benefit from his/her death? Or perhaps the positives of his/her death outnumbers the negatives. Then, would it be acceptable to pray or hope for his/her death?

Is it wrong to be happy when the wicked falters? Is it wrong to rejoice when the evil perish?

I frankly don't think it is. Does thinking this, in turn, make me evil?


Do people not rejoice when a tyrant is brought down? Did most nations not erupt in jubilee when it was confirmed that Hitler committed suicide?

Or perhaps they too were evil for celebrating the end of their oppression.
