Not necessarily -- if I believe your actions make everyone but yourself worse off, it's not entirely unreasonable for me to choose an outcome where I'm a little worse off than I would be in order to ensure that your benefit is reduced or taken away. This outcome is common in situations where trust does not exist between parties -- my action might actually be required to motivate you to seek to rebuild trust.

I can easily interpret your characterization of me with the phrase "wishing for the apocalypse" as you overstating the relative importance of your loss vs mine.
