Our Schadenfreude world

Thinking that we live in a compassionate and empathic world is delusional and utopic in a sense. We actually live in a sadistic, cruel, and dystopic society. Born from the envy towards others, nurtured by our greedy desires, maturing into a wrathful emotion as a means to find meaning in this life. Schadenfreude is the unnatural feeling of joy towards those that are in despair. as Schopenhauer once said: "Envy is natural, but when you revel in schadenfreude it is diabolical." Humans are the only living beings that take pleasure in the misfortune of others, even with other species; no other animal can relate. It is a pessimistic view, sure, but a real one at best. Maybe it says a lot about ourselves and how we are the ones that are really destroying this world.

If you have a different view, tell me and we can have a conversation on it.
