I recently realized that at times im happy fo others not being happy…but dats only sometimes and this realization got me thinking..
How many times have you truely been happy for someone apart from you and your family??….How many times have you felt that overwhelming joy that fills your heart for others..i have felt it, not many times to be honest but yes quite a few to mention. our happiness and joy can cum from various happenings… it might be an self achievement, a hugh success, a simple thought, a selfless act and seemingly wrong but others loss or geief too….
Now leaving apart my near and dear ones there are times i feel happy over others misfortunes too.. i might sound like a psycho..or demon…but its with all of us.. truely answer this..have felt great that your competition didn’t get that promotion which you had applied for too…. felt happy that the entire class failed the TEST only u passed it…or as simple as an underachievement of a bragger….
It dosen’t sound great, but underneath that consoling setnence is a “THANK GOD! it wasn’t me!!”.. behind that comforting smile is a “u never deserved it anyways!” and no matter what front we put up…we secretly smile that we made it and he(they) didn’t….but its not us to blame… its the competition… the way being looked down on is a trend for the achievers..the social pressures of proving ur worth by a single achievement…its all this comparison that has made our scale of success a measure of others failures….
So are we evil to be happy for the not so happy….not really… i think… i say.. its just very HUMAN.! ![]()
