In this quote, the speaker expresses a paradoxical desire to have been a morally depraved person in their previous life. Their reasoning is that if they were not, then they may anticipate negative consequences or "pay" for their current life's actions in the future.

The speaker's hope for past wickedness is driven by their desire to balance the scales and avoid future repercussions by experiencing the opposite in subsequent lives.
