This is an instance of the ancient Wiccan belief that any distress you cause to an other person will 'rebound' on you.
I don't lie (it diminishes the 'soul') and I never cause anyone harm intentionally and sincerely regret it if it ever happens (sometimes truth hurts)
I am anti religion in all its forms. I find it quite 'creepy' that in my long lifetime any person who has done me harm has come to a sticky end (one early accidental death and several had prolonged painful ill health). Maybe just coincidence, but it has happened so often that it seems more than coincidence. Perhaps this is what some people would call the action of a 'guardian angel' - I just think it is the ancient celtic 'Law of Rebound' in action.Here is a Wiccan article on the subject

I am not promoting paganism here - I am a 'humanist' . but this phenomenon of bad deed rebound has been around since civilisation began.
