Schadenfreude
Posted by admin | Filed under Ranting
Schadenfreude is enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone else. Philosopher and sociologist Theodor Adorno defined schadenfreude as “largely unanticipated delight in the suffering of another which is cognized as trivial and/or appropriate.” (Wikipedia)
– We’ve got to admit, this is the kind of behavior that exists in ourselves no matter how goodie-good we claim to be. We know that this stupid behavior cropped up, at least once, no matter how unintentional it is. We can not avoid it, it’s already encrypted in our evil little minds. We take pleasure in someone else’s misfortune.
But let me tell you this, if ever you’re in this situation KEEP YOUR PLEASURE TO YOURSELF. Laugh but laugh only in your mind, say things like “you deserve it” but only to yourself. Don’t write about it, don’t gossip about it. Don’t materialize the feeling!
God is already making his grand plan of so-called “Karma” to the person involved, believe me He doesn’t need your help.
Goodluck!
