I just saw a picture of a bully on another forum.  Heh, heh, it made my day.

I wonder if we all don't have some pettiness inside of us--the need to delight at another's misfortune.  I would hate to admit to some of the ugly thoughts that pass through my mind (except maybe on an anonymous forum!).

Schadenfreude = taking pleasure in others' misfortunes.

One of the best and wickedest feelings one can ever have. I love the word.
