1. Has anyone heard a prayer asking for someone else's death?

2. Has anyone considered answering such a prayer?

Both?
It would depend on the
circumstances surrounding
the prayer.

that's where I get tripped up. If the one praying was in danger...

I was told by my Mistress that...
If you grant such a wish
You have to be prepared for
whatever might come your way
due to it. If you did wrong...
you'll find out, one way
or another. But...
Yeah, I think if I felt that
the wish was something that
would ultimately protect the asker,
then... yeah. I'd grant it.
And be prepared for whatever
is next.

Karmic backlash? That's an interesting thought.

How do you prepare for something like that, though? Or do you just mean that every time something terrible happens to you, you'll just accept it as your dues for whatever you did wrong that week?

I guess preparing is a strong word.
I was told by a higher bring before
that nothing that happens to us is
by coincidence, but that it was
inevitable. So instead of dwelling,
move forward.

So in other words, it could never have been different and don't bother wondering?

That's depressing in its own way, I'd be too busy dwelling on that

You might find in the future that
it is easier to think of things that way.

Being depressed is easy, you mean? If I can deliberately misinterpret. I could see it.
