The Emotion That SOME Of You MAY HAVE Experienced, Yesterday, Sunday, July 12, 2026, Upon Hearing Some News -- 'Schadenfreude'.

I was curious as to whether this was a known phenomenon -- i.e., experiencing joy at another person's misfortune, including grave illness or even death. 

Well, it appears it is well known, and, moreover, there is even a fancy, German word for it -- 'Schadenfreude'. It appears it goes back to the 1740s in Germany, & the 1850s in Britain. Wow. So, not a recent thing.

I was curious. Now I know.

I wanted to SHARE it with you, since it seems pretty cool. Enjoy. 😇
