I wouldn't wish this on . . .

Isn't this what we say all the time when facing bad news. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, or someone who has hurt us deeply. Be it bad luck, bad health, or some other misfortunate, do we really wish others such negativity, or positive outcomes in life. For me, I always say, I wouldn't wish this on my ex-husband, and truly I would not. I wouldn't wish cancer or ill health on anyone. It's just too painful and difficult.
