There is no one I know who can honestly say they have never had the feeling of satisfaction knowing someone else was being thrown under the bus. Every person has someone in their life that they would probably not mind never seeing for the rest of their lives. Anyone who says differently is being hypocritical.
The simple fact that there is constantly the occasional time when another’s horrible day provokes a chuckle from our lips is truth. We can’t help it. Often enough, perhaps to ease our conscience, we settle to think they have deserved whatever nasty fate their enduring. But is it up to us to judge? There are often times I get a perception that we have no place judging others, for no one can hardly be considered perfect. It is possible that we judge other’s faults in order to temporarily feel accomplished or successful. I can confirm that to know of someone reveling in my misfortune would definitely disappoint, but each time I consider, should I be understanding, or offended?
Although, sometimes having that momentary thought of, “Well…glad that’s not happening to me,” may often cause people to reevaluate their lives, and possibly make them feel grateful or thankful. With that being said, if we were all more willing to be more compassionate to our enemies, it is possible that the small elementary tip, to treat others the way you would like to be treated, could help us let go of said judgments? Unfortunately, one man’s pain is another’s pleasure, we are human, and certainly do not all think the same.
I think many people are resistant to change who they are or how they act, but I have certainly found, that the more I’ve attempted to understand, the happier I’ve been, all together contradicting the very statement that brought this on.
