You should not have to deal with such things. You really, really, should not have to deal with such things. And people believe that there is a good god in charge of things! What could possibly be more ridiculous than that?
I'll assume you're being sarcastic here, otherwise I'd say this is a tad extreme. On the contrary as I grow older I'd say I'll realise that instead of me wanting bad people dead, I'd just accept that the world isn't always a nice place and bad people will always exist.
By all means, regard me as extreme. That will not bother me.
You are certainly correct that the world is not always a nice place and, probably as long as people exist, bad people will always exist. It should not be that way, but it is.
