The Negative Connotation of Divine Punishment in the Afterlife
The concept of punishment in the afterlife probably derived from early Jewish experiences with larger empires that were oppressing them. So you did good or bad or how you acted in life really only affected your lot in life because once you were dead everybody's a lot was the same. so but in and of itself that word doesn't have a negative or a positive connotation it'snegative in the sense that it's mysterious, murky yeah it's going to suck to be there But I would argue that the concept of punishment is rooted in fantasizing about wicked people getting their just desserts if not in this life then in the life to come.
