I cant wait till we start placing bets on who dies from the drop, who has a seizure etc when the gallows start firing up. Am i a bad person for getting warm fuzzies for that?

Serious question or rhetorical?
since im not a fan of violence. Apart from war movies boxing etc. Just wondering if im still a "good" person. Spiritually we are supposed to frown on it... but boy am I really hoping justice gets served.
Getting excited for violence / violence for sport like boxing is indeed poison for us. None of us are good people in the real sense of the term. If you want to be around actually good people you need to go to the heavens. We all have countless defects within us that will surely get us anywhere but heaven, unless we work really hard on eliminating them. Greed, anger, lust, passion, impatience, envy, fear, hatred, gluttony, pride...the list goes on. Just knowing that something is bad isn't enough. You know you're not supposed to cheer on violence and suffering, yet you do. Knowing that you do it isn't enough. You have to figure out why you feel this way. "Man, know thyself and you will know the universe and all its Gods". Knowing yourself in the true meaning of the phrase is the key to heaven, as it is thus that your sins will be forgiven.
