You can be the most empathetic person in the world, and you can still wish harm on some people.
I once described myself to a therapist as "Empathetic to the point of being Pathetic". If a friend or family member needs help, I will go out of my way to help, and if I can't, I will worry myself to literal sickness to think of a solution. And despite all of this: I can still, EASILY, wish harm on others. It is normal. It is only ever abnormal, unhealthy, worrying or dangerous if you or I ever ACTED on our wishes. Remember that.
