Question

In certain holy communities it is customary to curse / revile someone by saying that he should die a strange death.
Sorry for the strange question, but it really bothers me.
For decades now I’ve been walking around with this question, and thank God I finally girded my loins like a man with strength and courage to ask it:
To die young is obviously a curse, understood.
To die with suffering is obviously a curse, understood.
But a strange death or a “standard” one—what difference does it make?
True, specifically for me there is a downside if I die a strange death,
because it would make my many enemies happy.
But someone who doesn’t have as many enemies as I do, really in heaps—what difference would it make to him whether he dies a “standard” death or a strange one?
