I think it's a very common reaction to feel vindicated when the universe dishes out the justice we feel we've been denied. I know that in my own personal life, I've often felt that same kind of vindication when people who were cruel to me or otherwise hurt me reaped what they had sown. I do think that actively wishing ill on people or spending lots of time glorying in the tragedy of others is not a very healthy coping strategy. That brief moment, though, of vindication--I think most people feel that from time to time.

Oh, absolutely. It's the gloating and being proud of it that bothers me. Though, and I said this somewhere else too, it would help if we had specifics - but that would give the Anon away.

Sometimes, especially when people are just roundly nasty to everyone around them and never seem to suffer the consequences, it's really hard not to be a bit smug when all that nastiness finally comes back to bit them in the ass. As you say, though, I think this all depends on the offense. Being glad that the person who cut you off in traffic dies of cancer? Totally not cool. Being glad that the person who threatened your job security is removed from a position of power? Understandable.

I totally agree with this distinction. Someone who abuses power shouldn't be in it, and there's also that element of getting a bit of what they dished out. There's nothing wrong with being happy about that imo. It's sort of making things right - making sure that people understand how hurtful they were, that's what I care about; making sure they know what they did. Because it pisses me off when people *don't* get it, when they have no concept of the effects of their actions. And also being glad that they're removed from a position of power that they can't handle responsibly, for the sake of other people who might be in the same position as you were.

make sure to come back when you're cannonized. I would love to know someone who's a fucking saint.

until then, shut the fuck up. you can't know what they've been through so casting judgment until those facts come to light? fuck you. you're just as bad as they are for assuming the worst of them and not the people who wronged them.

which is usually typical of any reaction. always assume the asshole is misunderstood and their victim is some how to blame.

Not at all what anyone is saying, actually.
