I’ve been trying to reframe things like this in my mind.
Instead of contemplating if the world would be better if they were gone, I tell myself that my wish would be for them to just be a good person.
I’m not trying to be righteous. But I think, framed like that, a good person would choose the latter. And if it really came down the power to disappear somebody, I think most people would err on the side of good.
But retribution and vengeance are strong in our lizard brains.
Ya if you kill muskrat then someone else fills his place. Instead, if we’re talking magic, let him become a truly generous and benevolent person and spend his wealth recreating our economy to solve world hunger or some such thing
