What is your take on good karma and bad karma? When you secretly wish ill on others, even if you don't act on it, does that make you bad?

There is this concept of revenge.

It isn't hard to understand or feel really.
But as a person raised on not throwing a rock back even if someone did throw a literal rock at me once, it kinda becomes hard to be nice the more years I spend on earth.

You know that idea that when you become a vampire, your feelings as a human are suddenly amplified? So when back as human you were able to keep things in and focus on the good, as a vampire it just stopped. So you kinda want to unleash pent up and well hidden emotions. So now you're easily frustrated and angered and somehow, there is this horrible sense of calm (like a horrifying hobby that oddly works) when you imagine bad things befalling on those who'd wronged you and those you love.

I am not saying it is right. But it just becomes tiring denying feelings, so you entertain them even if just on your head.

Being an adult is like that. It feels like it.

Is that just me? How do I become better as a person?

How do you burry that overwhelming desire for punishment to your enemies, for revenge (as what they call it)?

Sometimes, it makes me think. It is hard not to sin, admittedly, as a human.

If someone throws rock on you, there must be a reason behind his act. The law of karma starts from the initial thought, yes the thought, not necessarily the action. And that answers your second question. And actually it is the intentions that are more important and also carried as your bad karma.

If you can't keep yourself from throwing back the stone, it means you neither believed the law of karma nor the state police. Reporting an act of crime to police is definitely not a bad karma.

Yes, It is hard not to sin, that is why your accumulated bad karma never comes to zero. And that is why you take the new birth with your past life karma and you may start cursing God in your next life that why is God unkind to me when I have not done bad to anyone.

In what ever life you brings the your accumulated bad karma to zero, you are freed from the cycle of rebirth. Otherwise you will be sent back to purify your consciousness and bring down your karma account to zero. The problem here is you don't know your current balance of your bad karma, so the solution is simple to keep on doing good karma.
