I watch the news and I'll be in a much worse state. I got your point though. Sometimes I think I want the world cleansed, but then I think about myself and the vast changes I've made in me, and know that others could change too, if they tried.
I've been a terrible human most of my life and still do some deplorable things at times. The guilt from those things is much more punishment than that the kiss of death would provide. I carry my guilt as my own judgements but am learning to let tiny bits go at times, because I know the lesson is more important than the guilt.
If I were cleared from this world, I'd never have changed, and that would be tragic.
Perhaps some of my punishment is to suffer alone while I make better with and of myself.
