Schadenfreude

The arrogant prick in class flunks his exams. The ex who said that you won't amount to anything slides down a slippery path in life. The team that always boast about their victories fail miserably in the hands of your favourite team. The high-flying company that turned down your job application goes bankrupt. All these incidents require only emotion: Schadenfreude.

Recently, I seem to have an obsession with Schadenfreude. I can't help but feel happy when certain people suffer. Man, I'm turning into an evil person.

But someone once said, To feel envy is human, to enjoy Schadenfreude is devilish. And boy, do I feel like the Devil now. Devil Tarot Card, and now Schadenfreude
