When people are unforgiving and cannot move on and away from a topic or person for what "they" feel is an injustice, in this lifetime, they do all they can to create a lifetime of punishment for that subject or person they've condemned; collective thought makes that emotion more powerful.
Understandable ... to a degree.
However, and this is only one scenario to this topic, when you are having a bad life, yet feel you're a good person, just remember that first sentence above and think of a "collective emotional punishment" that may have been created by something from a very long ago past ... yet use those same unforgiving principles people apply today ... it becomes eternal, unrelenting, unforgiving judgments.
Yes, eternal punishment, because, apparently, time doesn't seem to change stripes on a tiger.
Stalemate ... no one moves on ... until you possibly push God/dess' hands to get involved. You've held that thought way too long and you will be forced to learn forgiveness. You will be forced to move on. Even if that means all hell breaks loose to teach a lesson.
This is one example of why bad things can happen to good people. You've, possibly, done something that may have angered or hurt someone five hundred years ago (or whenever). You've moved on, or try to, but they never did ... which means you won't either ... unless you know how to change out "their" emotions or know who "they" are.
Furthermore, there are those that could be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get caught up in the shuffle.
How long can the shuffle last?
Well ... how long can you hold a grudge?
Hell is a state of being ... not a place ... unless that place is your mind. When you hold a grudge, you lose. That "darkness" (hell) will permeate throughout your body, mind, and soul; it will destroy you while you're trying to destroy your enemy. In that case, who really wins?
Who have you been judging lately?
Who is judging you?
For how long?
Why?
Eternal punishment or eternal destruction?
Judge not lest thee be judged.
Did you judge before?
If so, are you reaping what you sowed?
Just some food for thought.
