used in context, I mean something like “cursed”, “damned”, “ill-fated”, “condemned” - dealt a losing hand, stuck in a vicious bad loop, etc https://t.co/20mzAlGxX1

@visakanv this is right. Look at the etymology, it is a person who is "exiled" from the positive, take your pick of what the positive is https://t.co/w1bMHqsQy9

here’s an interesting “used in a sentence” example by YourDictionary, describing an evil and greedy corporate leader – presumably rich! – a wretch. I agree with this. It’s not about your bank balance, it’s about the state of your soul, how tormented you are deep inside https://t.co/5SBIZraqNT

“self-terrorized, fear-haunted… a curse to himself and his world…” wretched! https://t.co/2X6LcKri2C

The inflated ego of the tyrant is a curse to himself and his world - no matter how his affairs may seem to prosper https://t.co/H7EYjDmkNK

@visakanv This takes me back; my mom used to call the really badly behaved kids at church “wretches” 😅
