An antidote in Mahayana is wanting all beings to be happy above oneself. How often do you focus loving kindness towards Trump? He only wishes to be happy and pain free. Unfortunately he has a lot of habits and conditioning (karma) to make him loathe-some by many spiritual and non-spiritual ppl. I find myself reactively wanting to see him punished.
Is that true? And if it is, what does that mean for him? Why would you rule out the possibility that some people experience a reduction in their own pain through hurting others?
