Why do so many delight in others misfortune?

Thank you Bella, that was quite informative.
 

This is something I realised eventually and is the reason I tell very few people my business. Sadly many people love and enjoy other people's misfortunes and I find that despicable.
Too many times in my life has malice masqueraded as concern towards me.

During this latest hurricane I've had numerous people contact me to see if my dwelling had been washed away during the hurricane, with what I perceived as a touch of glee in their voice. You should sell, they say. Yet, they still want to come visit when it's cold up north, drink my wine and enjoy the sunsets. Maybe I am being a bit too sensitive after the tenth call.

My true friends (Whatever that is) reach out in a more concerning matter, you can tell the difference.

By the way, it's just not hurricanes, but other hardships in life as well - kind of like I'm sorry it's happening to you, but better you than me. May the odds ever be in my favor.
