Schadenfreude? Geseundheit!

[agentargent]

I saw Avenue Q, recently, wherein Gary Coleman ex-child-star sings a heartwarming ditty about enjoying the suffering of others. (Schadenfreude is a word that means just that. Yes, it's German. Hehe.)

- Do you think people enjoy the suffering of others?

- Do you? How?

- Is there a positive side to this trait? Can we channel it in a healthy way? Are we doomed?
