Schadenfreude

The word I'd forgotten: mudita, meaning "sympathetic joy" or "happiness in another's good fortune"

People are so miserable and lacking in human kindness,respect or empathy that when someone is happy and doing well or is different to them they do their best to knock them down and spoil their fun. People get to the point when they hear someone laughing they are offended by it. If you are kind to people these days they see it as an insult. All ego/pride based because they have nothing left to fight for but survival.

@philipsmovies It's a shame, though there are still people out there who are not like this.

I was a serious little munchkin too, but I am so glad that I can laugh at myself now. :D

It is mean to laugh at others mistakes, but I will certainly shake my head {or even howl} at some of the folks around here who think that they are beyond reproach and are the shining examples of perfection and perpetual victimhood...whilst of course being complete shits to everyone who disagrees with them.

,when i was young i would vandalize school property or flood the toilets and someone else would always get the blame although would always own up to it in the end as didnt like the feeling of it plus they was getting all the credit for my work heh but yeah isnt the same as schadenfreude so isnt linked it to imaturity would have to be a personallity disorder, im sure a sociopath can completely relate to this but for myself i hardly take any joy or pleasure in anything im mostly mono heh

@4winders I think you were pretty clear. The only thing I'd take issue with is that a sociopath in the true meaning of the word would be unable to feel any pleasure at anothers misfortunes, being unable to empathise with them.

@F00dTube  People like you should be seen and not heard! Route out falseness and change your world.

@philipsmovies Am I not allowed to do that anymore once you are king? I suppose you have no ego. You must be pure, you've never felt jealousy and never secretly laughed inside at someones misfortune. It's simple, there are to many of us to be all friends. It goes with diversity. Or do you prefer us turning into droids. Simplistic views bah..

@Loreleila ( See I am helping you out by hating. Now you have at least two of us. No need to thank me.)

[rocketwhiplash2468]

@Loreleila LOL. Yes. Oh well I thought you were cool. guess not. :)

@Loreleila good point scary too as it takes alot of sickos in this world out of the equation, i struggle to think what kind of person is capable of that tbh without a certian level of grief or hate towards that person before hand and even then it wouldnt be healthy, my guess is they must really hate the human species & them selves for that matter and learnt to laugh at it all as a coping mechanism maybe which is good for most things but there is line
