“Pleasure from Misfortune”

Why do some people derive pleasure from the misfortune of others? The most appropriate answer is jealousy. Most bad things happen due to jealousy and all people possess this trait. Every individual felt that jealousy inside of them, especially when they think that someone is better than they are, more beautiful than they were, and all of the things that people considered as a competition. It is a hymen nature that even possessed by most of humans, it should be stopped, because it’s not a right to be jealous of someone. God created us differently and unique from one another, resulting to different abilities and skills acquired by every human being.

Being happy about one’s misfortune is a bad side of human behavior that should be controlled and changed as soon as possible. For example, Venus (Greek Mythology) is jealous of Psyche’s beauty, hence she made a plan to ruin Psyche. She commanded her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with the most worthless creature on Earth, with a man who is a loser, a total waster, a reject, an utter tosspot and complete scumbag, in short, the ugliest man in the entire world. But because her son fell in love when he saw Psyche, the plan was not pursued. Then, Psyche did not trust Cupid and leave her. That’s when Venus came to action.

She had her revenge by giving Psyche many trials to do. She is very happy to see Psyche suffering from each task that she’s giving to Psyche. But every challenge is having the help of Cupid. She always win and being able to do the challenge given to her by the Goddess of Love and Beauty because of jealousy. But still she was able to give Psyche misfortunes and was happy to punish the mortal that was said to be more beautiful than her.
