> people you don't want to associate with

That’s an oversimplification of what your parent comment said, which was someone who has betrayed your trust.

> It would be interesting if you didn't

Why? What’s interesting about it? You don’t have to actively wish harm on people who harmed you, but there’s nothing strange about not wishing them well.

No, if I believed wishes, hopes and prayers affected anything why would I waste the finite quantity of them on random people let alone people I professionally separated myself from?

As Donald Draper once said "I don't think about you at all."
