A quote from "Christmas Carol": "May you be happy in the life you have chosen."
Personally, I think that's damning enough for people who behave badly.
It's not my job to create their karma... but it's also not my job to do squat to prevent it; I'll be here, watching the trainwreck (IF I can be bothered to do so, which mostly I can't; life's too short.)
I had someone about 10 years ago who I considered to be a close friend. Thing is- she lied to me. A lot. Even when it gained her nothing. I suppose it was a test- whether i would confront her on it (I didn't; I'm from the Midwest where that would be FAR beyond rude!), so she started to despise me, and mock me even to my face. And then she desperately needed a ride to a doctor and had no one else to ask, and i did it- despite a deadline- and she EVISCERATED me for that when I asked her for something really minor in exchange.
I hope she's happy in the life she's chosen... but I really doubt it, and am not especially sorry.
I think you are a good person. And i don't say that lightly.
