Have you ever felt happy hearing that someone you knew died?

It isn't as weird a feeling as you might make it out to be, let me assure you.

    Not happy but apathetic.   Sure.

    Nope.  I can clearly recall a day when I suddenly realized that I really did not wish to see someone "get theirs"  That I truly didn't want to see karma bite them in the ass.  It was really a profound moment for me...I do not wish that on anyone.  We all have our own ration of shit to deal with in this life...whether others are privy to it or not.

  • Nope. I don't hate anyone I know personally.

    Nope. Hatred hasn't consumed me, yet.

  • Apathetic. That's more like how I have felt sometimes.

    Yes... relived that he died and can't hurt anyone anymore.

    Not glad that they were dead, but glad that she was finally done with her suffering.  My grandmother died recently and was intubated with an oxygen pump pushing the air in and out of her lungs and a feeding tube.  When someone's in that kind of state there's zero quality of life and you hope they won't have to suffer too much longer.

  • How old was she? And how long was she attached to the machine?

    I have but the happy was short lived because someone soon took over the persons business - selling crake to kids. Crake was a growing problem in my community back then but it seems to be getting better these days - seems like the kids are smarting up. Cheers!

    Nope.  The closest I came was hearing about the death of a former colleague and friend who had betrayed a confidence which got me fired and left me unemployable in my chosen profession for three years.  On reading of her death, I sat in my vehicle and cried like a baby.  "By rights" one would think I would have been overjoyed, but 'joy' was nowhere close to the emotion I felt.

    Never.  I'd have to question what kind of person would have those thoughts.  I can understand not being sad but being happy is an entire different thing.

    I never actually wished my brother dead, but I thought the world was a better place without him.

    If someone has either been suffering, wants to die, or both, I might be relieved for them.

  • Not yet,
    But I will,
    I most definitely will. I will rejoice and while pointing my finger to HELL, I will send a little thought to the Devil, " your problem now, old chap" Fuck yeah, I will.

    If I knew where my high school principal was buried I would go there and pee on his grave. I mean I like to think about it, but in reality he wasn't worth that much effort.

    Definitely not.  If anything, if they were an exceptionally miserable person to the end, I have a sense of sadness that they ran out of all their chances to experience something wonderful out of life.  

    I can not imagine living a wasted life.
