I'm not sure where I stand on this!
I'm not sure where my heart comes from?
I cannot feel satisfied at anyone elses suffering!!
But I grasp what you mean - seeing those who you know have a judging persona judge others and then find their own ideology ensnares them! If karma were perfect I'm sure this would occur without anyone elses intervention but sadly I see karma as far from perfect! The only theory I can think of that could make it so would be reincarnation but that supposes those suffering now deserve it so go figure!

Exactly why I titled this thread "That evil feeling of satisfaction".
Is it wrong to gloat over someone else's mis-fortune? Probably, but at the same time, didn't the bastards deserve it?
I sure as hell didn't shead any tears, and I still don't.
I understand your point, also.

I think that you are a little smug, petty and self righteous. Of course, this is a normal, human thing to feel after people who have already proven themselves to be those self same things are brought down.
We are only human, we do human things. Such as have an evil feeling of satisfaction when jerks get their comeuppance.
Of course, some of those elders are probably here, now:) Lets hope they all got over themselves~for the most part!
There is a situation unresolved!
When one sees an individual highly respected by many, having control over others lives and pulling strings behind the scenes which influence the perceptions and reputations of others, it is unjust! Such individuals often use casino like rules in establishing stereotypes of others. It's as if one rumour leads to chains of doubts and adds fuel to an ember . I have seen this myself and witnessed how it gets so out of control, the only solution is the demise of the one being doubted.
And figures in authority continue as if somehow they are perfect legislators with no cause to question their own mistakes - mistakes which would and have ruined others whilst they continue their secretive charade.
My feeling is I am pleased to be void of such institutionalisation and may the force of all nature do with each of us as it will and if I die unjustly, I go back to where I have always desired to be! So whatever outcome - it is out of my hands and for me to be whatever nature inside of me speaks! It is this feeling which helps me privately nullify any wish to see others suffer their own actions at my own will or wish. However when an instance or situation comes my way where I feel I should speak, I will do so if only to hopefully offer insight to others about devious plots to own ones soul and network of humanity.

So then what's your problem with what Warlock posted? Why are you labelling him as being "smug petty and self righteous" when he's merely displaying the "normal human thing"? Do you even read what you write?
When the WTS got exposed for covering up pedophiles, when they get bad press when a member dies due to the 'no blood' doctrine, and when they were exposed as hypocrites for belonging to the UN for a 'library card', did I get that 'evil feeling of satisfaction'? You darn right I did. After being the pompous, self-righteous assholes that they are, looking down their snoot at the rest of the world for over a hundred years, it felt good to see their hypocritical nature exposed for all the world to see.
On a more personal note, there was a girl in high school who treated me like garbage because I was a Witness. She was worse than the others and never failed to make a dig at me not being able to celebrate Xmas, birthdays, Easter or anything else that was normal. She was a snot and thought she was better than everyone else. When she got knocked up at 16 (back then a big no-no), was disgraced and had to leave school, I got that 'evil feeling of satisfaction of her getting a taste of her own medicine.
I wonder if this feeling is imprinted in us since very tiny?
Like we're always told how so and so deserves their payback etc.
And if someone has hurt us when little it can feel 'correct' to see them get in trouble for it!
I saw so many instances of females in my family getting a 'feel good' out of someones pain that I started to resent it!!
The reason?-
Many times it was out of place or undeserved and often based on a hunch of theirs and not the reality - much as in Warlocks situation where elders were suspecting him of getting a sisters underwear off when all he wanted to do was be nice to her!
I've seen gloating over anothers demise lots of times by those thinking the other was a 'subhuman'
It's caused me to feel numb at any suffering! Not sure if thats good or bad but its how it is!
It is great to see self-righteous ones smacked down with some reality.
It's good to see the kids living the lives they want to live despite their parents. Bravo for them, and who cares what their parents feel.

I know the feeling. I can get so entertained by various news of self righteous ones getting a taste of their own medicine. Okay, I'm not perfect, I'm just being honest.
I think it comes from years and years of internal screaming for REALITY to strike. Living within that kind of constant judgement and critisism is CRAZEY MAKING. So I am a little crazey, and a little evil.
I'm with you Warlock.
