Gloating at the enemy

Hi sophiecheer! I am vindictive. This is a little devil lurking within me. Thus, if I see my enemies drowned with problems. Boy, that little devil is jumping with joy.LOL What can I say, it is the sweetest revenge! Even the world has turned against them because of trampling others just to be ahead of the race. As the saying goes: "you reap, what you sow!" Thus, if a person shows disrespect, he will reap disrespect too. If a person cheats, sooner someone will cheat against him. If a person is a traitor, someone will betray him soon. Life has its own way to get back to those who are merciless, and when that time comes, I want to witness it. Who wouldn't?

hello sophie, Honestly i don't want to see my enemy in pain or in any suffering. I never even wish or asks to see them in any pain. What will i ever gain if i saw them suffering?...surely i will be sorry too. I am not a holy person,i can also be mean when needed,but i never cursed anyone who did wrong or say a word against me. I always remember what my mentor taught me,"always forgive so that God will forgive you"... Relatively speaking,how can we asks forgiveness from GOD when we ourselves cannot forgive our enemies right? Will GOD listens to us,when we don't even listen to people who done mistakes and asks forgiveness. And how can we sleep at night when we know our enemy is suffering and we done nothing to help,or give any support when we have the capacity and ability to do so. have a good day

Obviously there is conflict in everyone's life, but I'd not like to think of anyone as an enemy. I can't think of anyone right now who I'd call an enemy. Although it should be said, I don't meet too many people, as I lead a fairly quiet existence. Also, I'm a Christian: I don't believe vengeance...taking revenge; or having feelings of revenge...is right. And if someone who had hurt me experienced misfortune...well, I don't know how I'd react...but I'd like to think I'd feel for them. After all, they are no longer "in the fight" as it were. They have lost, temporarily or permanently; and so are worthy of compassion as a result. This is what I believe: I tend to feel sorry for those who have "gone under". Gloating is not something I'd like to think I'd ever do, even towards someone who may have hurt me.

To be honest, I'm not sure...I can't say I won't feel bad for them but I guess it would be hard for me to sympathize with someone who has hurt me...

Hmmm, maybe jump for joy? and say "you deserve it...!" I think I would be hypocrite if I'd say I feel sorry for him. Isn't it that it's our nature to always look for vengeance? Normally, we become happy when our oppressors fall down...We would think that it's their karma.But do you honestly believe in Karma? Anyway,the real challenge is how we can overcome this evil desire of wanting our enemies to fall flat in front of us? It's really hard to become good, right? Well, maybe to be in apathy is lesser evil than to be rejoicing over one's misery!

Generally it gives internal joy to see our enemies exepriencing pain, no matter how we might pretend not to mind or feel sorry for them , but life itself is a competetion ,survival of the fittest just like in the days of darwin ,its just that this days it is not so open
