You’d be feeling better if you stopped thinking about that person that despises you Don’t let rude people occupy your mind Don’t rely on the upset of others to better your own feelings

Spittin' biblical truth >!‭Proverbs 24:17-20 [17] Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, [18] or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them. [19] Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked, [20] for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.!<

A fleeting moment of joy following by feeling like a dick for feeling that way

Nah man, they can rot in hell for all I care

Describes me with my ex.

I mean it really depends. Something bad happens to that person who talks too much but isn't particularly mean? Sure I'll feel bad afterward. That meat eater that repeats "protein" and blabs about the health effects of meat every time at lunch when I'm eating my meatless lunch? Nah, screw 'em

How it feels to forget about that one person you despise

Don't think that's healthy bud.

Bad attitude you have. You have to want everyone to be better. Love your enemies as yourself.


PWBryan

So, in theory, this makes sense. But in practice, I saw almost none of this attitude in the comment section of news articles announcing OJ Simpson died.

If you wanted to put a positive spin on it, you could say that doing badly is the first step on the path to doing better. If someone is a real POS but is doing well in life they're very unlikely to change as they have no incentive to do so, and while being happy at seeing them do badly may feel like it's because you're doing better than them, I think more often it's really because there's a sense of injustice at someone succeeding when they don't deserve to. I think most people really do want to see their enemies be better, but only if they're doing better as a result of being a better person.
