Date: 2025-01-27 09:47 pm (UTC)Thanks for your reply. Both your definitions imply good will come to the recipient of the blessing. To me "May the Gods give you what you deserve" feels like a blessing, but not necessarily nice or good for the recipient.
I guess it depends on how far you stretch a "holistic view of what's good for them". Does the recipient have to agree that it's good for them? What does it mean if you bless someone who happens to be a thief?
