Bible sanctions schadenfreude

[Robert Urbanek]

Schadenfreude is a German word meaning the pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune. The pleasure is particularly sweet if that misfortune was caused by the afflicted person’s foolishness or evil intent.

While some may feel guilty about such feelings, they are sanctioned by the Bible, as noted in Proverbs 1:24-26.

Because I have called and you refused,
have stretched out my hand and no one heeded,
and because you have ignored all my counsel
and would have none of my reproof,
I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when panic strikes you

Liberals may argue that the compassion and forgiveness of Christ overrides the harsh judgements of the Old Testament, but I see the testaments as being more cyclical, with years of permissiveness followed by years of punishment, then years of quiet and docility and the cycle starting all over again.

You didn't have to give me a definition of the word Schadenfreude.

Trump presided for 4 years on "laughing at liberal tears". We all know what it is. Schadenfreude is all their party really has.

What a bullshit. It's funny if someone opens a door and water falls down on him and makes him wet, isn't it? What we Germans call "Schadenfreude" is what you call just simple fun. Your films are full of "Schadenfreude".

Trump's father was a sadist.. Trump also revels in the misfortune of others.

Aug 19, 2020 · Trump is profoundly wrong in treating international commerce as entirely a zero-sum situation. Macroeconomics is not the same as besting a counterparty in a real estate deal. The economic entanglement of China and the United States is not going away anytime soon, and if it did it would be to the disadvantage of both nations.

Though personified as a woman in that passage, wisdom is not a person per se. A person is not taking pleasure in another person's misfortune.

That passage basically says, "That's what you get for doing this or doing that without me." It says Israel pays the consequences for acting without wisdom.

Schadenfreude may be a thing elsewhere in the Old Testament, but the New Testament redefines Israel, which seems devoid of the concept.

No way, dude. The best Schadenfreude of both the 20th and the 21st century was when Trump won. The butt-hurtedness and tears from the left were epic.

Well that's odd. President Trump never brought me any of that "misfortune" you speak of. You must be mistaken.

But I can tell you one thing: Misfortune, misery, and mediocrity will damned sure be three things that cocksucker in the White House has to offer you.

You can bet on that.
