A note on people's orgasmic love of schadenfreude.

So, this is the story of my life, and it never seems to get any better as I finally figured out that I, along with a couple hundred others had been bamboozled. I never understood why people feel like they have to get over on someone else when it obviously is not necessary, but all I can say is that karma or whatever else you believe in, definitely comes back to bite you in the ass. Its like going to interview with the hr at some big ass corporation where THEY know you'll never fill the position no matter how much you qualify; they just feel like fucking around with someone's hopes and then they continue to patronize even after you do find out that you won't be working there. Whatever. One can only be angry about things for so long, then you just push yourself to work even harder, and do what you have to do to crush those who crushed you but a million times harder. Schadenfreude will always be enjoyed by the person who had misfortune in the end.

That is time and energy spent on someone who is worthless to begin with, why should I care what happens to them? My gut feeling is that if I don't someone else will, especially if that other person in question is consistently rank in their dealings with so many other people.

Money and influence can elude a lot of things. But do you really need to spend all that time watching and monitoring someone else's entire life to see if their bad actions finally came back at them, whether it's tomorrow or ten years later? No, I don't think so.

Comment by Raw Action on June 20, 2008 at 1:22pm: I must say that my experience is that for every person who gets their comeuppance there are about 10 who don't. Sure, there are people who become just a bit less popular as a result of spreading bad will in the world, but I have always contended that Karma's a lazy bugger. If it were the case, why will future generations pay for what we are doing to the planet, once we have passed away? I know I sound cynical here but it seems that money and influence can go a long way in eluding the grasp of Karma....
