Take judges... or others that genuinely act with the best of intent on behalf of society, but have to take tough decisions. They are going to get more than their fair share of negative thoughts sent in their direction. So why are they as a group not experiencing all manner of horrible things if there is any power in hexing, beyond the power of recipient-belief?
Again I think its all down to positive thought. Most of us would agree that judges etc are strong minded, forcefull and clever individuals who, by enlarge, tend to have a great deal of self confidence and a powerful ego (I don't mean that in a derrogatory way) so I think people who empower themselves are quite capable (whether they know they are doing it or not) of shielding themselves or protecting themselves from negative energy.
It comes back to the same old argument of not being a victim and I think a stong sense of self and right has a great deal to do with the confidence needed to protect yourself against such negative aspects of our lives.
