Are you happy when someone you hate dies?

[Placo]

A little while ago my father told me, as well as scolding me as usual for not doing anything, that a guy we knew died and I was genuinely happy, but isn't it strange to be happy for someone who died when you are suicidal? Isn't death a liberation? Maybe in his case, given that he certainly wouldn't have wanted to experience death, it's a bad thing and so we should be happy that he died; I have to admit that I'm a little conflicted about this aspect.

Among other things, the guy told my father to kill himself or that he would die soon and instead he died!

I can't stop enjoying it despite being suicidal, because for him death is a bad thing, he must have suffered thinking that he would soon die, now I don't know if he died suddenly or not, while for me death is a liberation.

And you? Are you happy when you know that someone you dislike or hate dies, perhaps knowing that he is a person who loves life and therefore in his case we cannot talk about death as liberation?

 

[Agon321]

Yes, I am happy.

I know this is controversial for some people, but I have no empathy for people I don't like.
I simply can't feel positive emotions when I think about a person I don't like.

I believe that in life you should not be a completely "good", humane and empathetic person.
I wish only failure for my "enemies".
I'm happy when life kicks their butt.

I understand that for many people my thinking is immoral, but this is my worldview.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

No one I've hated has ever died so far so I don't know how I'd react.

I have this weird situation where someone I spent 7 years having a crazy limerent crush on died a few years back. I probably thought I was in love with him so- you'd think I'd be devastated. To be honest though, whether I was right or wrong, I thought he was pretty manipulative. Especially with women. To the extent I think he could potentially be damaging emotionally. Maybe not his fault- a difficult childhood full of neglect and issues with his own Mum. But still, I suppose there was this odd sense of relief when I found out. That he couldn't intentionally or unintentionally hurt anyone anymore. Not that he did all that much damage to me. I was never attractive enough for him to be interested. (Probably a blessing in disguise.) But, he still made me feel shit about myself. He was kind of superior with people. So- I suppose there's something of a grudge there too. Plus- it confirms to me that it was crazy limerence, rather than love I suppose. What a dumb way to spend 7 years! Weird though considering I felt so much affection for him at one stage. I suppose it's the extreme of emotions though. Not that any of it was really his fault either. It was mostly my crazy arse response to him! But yeah- why wouldn't we be happy if someone who causes pain to others goes? That seems reasonable to me to be honest.

I will cry tears of joy when Rishi Sunak dies, I don't feel anything for people i hate

 

[BrainShower]

Same really. Plenty of people i have loved have died, but no one i hated.

 

[DeIetedUser4739]

When I wasn't depressed I was happy when I found out someone I hated had died.

Now that I know how bad life is I'm pissed off that they're dead and free from this planet, they deserved to live until 100 years old and suffer every tragedy imaginable.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I wish that the people I hate suffered massively in existence instead of dying. Dying ends all of their suffering but I want the people that I hate to suffer. This is also why I don't support the death penalty as death is mercy, not pain and torture

I will cry tears of joy when Rishi Sunak dies, I don't feel anything for people i hate

I'm not into politics but I can't disagree with this one

 

[BruhXDDDDD]

Nah, I think a lot of that comes down to personal beliefs. The most cruelty I can usually manage is laughing when someone gets hurt in a funny way.

 

[Onelegman]

Honestly, yes.

 

[jarik]

I don't enjoy any death

 

[DeathOfKane]

I would be. Hasn't happened yet.

 

[greebo6]

Yes, if I hated them enough . I'm not sure if that's the right or wrong thing to feel but in the spirit of honesty I can't really deny it .

 

[Nobody Special]

I would not really be "happy," but if I hate someone it is because I feel they are an active danger in my life in most circumstances.

So I would say I have a feeling of relief.

 

[abchia]

My hate for people has diminished a lot over the years. I don't know if I truly hate anyone other than myself now.

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

I am happy when I cut off people I hate from my life. Then I stop to think about them and I can begin letting the hate go.
Unfortunately sometimes you can't let it go

 

[idk3]

Growing up around abusive men and an abusive older brother, there are very few males that I like and trust.

Whenever I hear on social media or something that a guy has died, a part of me is glad because I believe there's a good chance he's hurt somebody innocent, or will hurt somebody and take advantage of them. I just believe most males would abuse other people if they knew they wouldn't get caught and would 100% get away with it.

I realize it's probably/hopefully wrong, but it's just how I've always thought. You can imagine how dark life has been thinking like this, but I can't seem to change it.

Yep, arguably lifetime prison is worse than death penalty as in the execution process you either get injected with that one medicine that make you go unconscious first before the lethal injection or they use a gun directly aimed at your heart to insta-kill

 

[Mirrory Me]

I don't know, I don't really have any enemies. To be "happy" about it would probably be too much.

 

[LifeIsBS]

for me, i would be more happy to see them suffer in life, if i hate someone then that person must've done something horrible and i would like to see them suffer the same if not more. giving them an exit after making others life hell would be a gift to that son ofabitch.

 

[innominesatanas44]

Yes especially politicians (not talking about USA). I would not be sad if certain criminals went out like Ceausescu.

 

[whiteboyswithars]

No, I hate that people feel sad about it and it makes me upset. Not necessarily because they ARE dead, but because people are showing grief because they are dead. I don't like knowing that they're appreciated or that they will be missed, it fuels my hate more honestly.

 

[winamp]

I don't think I would feel happy

I think I would only feel bad for them because death was the only way I could escape them or feel safe (depends on relationship, experiences, or specific situations)

and I think it would take a lot for someone to feel happy, relieved, or indifferent towards someone's death

I only feel this way about one person in my life

 

[derpyderpins]

I'd like to say I don't wish for other's suffering or death... But it does feel pretty good to see an asshole take one on the chin ngl

 

[Rocinante]

I laugh, yeah. Couldn't happen to a better person.

 

[Not A Fan]

Hate is pretty exhausting emotion for me. If someone is not like, everyday making my life hell, then whether or not they live or die is immaterial to me.

Example: someone I trusted in business stole $20,000 from me. If I found out he died, it doesn't do anything to get my $20,000 back. What would make me happy, is getting my $20,000 back.

If someone just insulted me, I don't care. It's just a sound coming out of their mouth.

Other people's suffering profits me nothing, I can't understand how to find happiness in it. If I could, I would probably be a lot happier.

 

[Lost Magic]

I don't think happy is a good word (for me at least). However, if they go out there way just to tear others down, it is a relief when they are gone. Put it this way, I will not be sad if the likes of Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin drop dead. That's for sure.

 

[Cinnamorolls]

Hasn't happened to me yet but I think I would be extremely happy and relieved to hear that my former abusers are dead. Would be so much easier to move on.

 

[Z-A]

I just wouldn't care, there's no reason to be happy about it in my opinion. But that's just me personally.
