[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Let's face it, EVERYONE wants to see a perfect asshole take a shit! Just wait and their time will come! [/b]

My wife (of many, many years!) has always referenced the couples in our neighborhood, kind of like a litmus test to our marriage. "Why can't we be more like so and so" and "look at their loving relationship." Well, as time marched on she saw one lady kill herself (which actually looked like her husband did it) and several others go thru very bitter and ugly divorces!

Even if the grass is greener on the other side ~ someone still has to mow it! [/quote]

Not everyone. I get no satisfaction from seeing anyone go through rough times.

However, I'm content in my life and also don't compare.[/quote]

Admit it! There's been at least one time in your life where you were happy to see someone you know fail at something! 
IT'S HUMAN NATURE! I didn't say that it was the prettier side of human nature either....[/quote]

There is nothing to admit.

I've been happy to see someone fail at work who battled with me about the direction something should have taken and then their project collapsed. However, this is more of a "I told you so".

However, to be HAPPY to see someone fail who has had much success and happiness in their life? No.

I'm not an envious person, so it is not really in my personality to get off on other people's struggles. I can't even fathom how miserable I would be if these were my thought patterns. I grew up in a good amount of poverty and family dysfunction, so for me, I'm extremely grateful for what I have. I don't covet my neighbor. I'm too happy celebrating my own success.

I'm not saying your thoughts are abnormal, I'm sure they are perfectly normal, but your normal is not mine and probably not a lot of people's.  Your normal would be my miserable.[/quote]
