Schadenfreude
A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others.
Its really sad that nowadays, people take pleasure in the sufferings of others.
Something so simple as making fun of a friend who has setbacks in his life can cause hurt on the latter's self pride.
Not just that, however it would sow the seeds for future Hitlers and Osamas whose so called humour is derived from schadenfreude...
In Matthew 24, in verse 37, Jesus prophesied that "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days just before He returns." Well, how were things in the days of Noah?
"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the Earth, & that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The Earth also was corrupt before God, & the Earth was filled with violence" (Genesis 6:5,11).
Behavioral scientists have concluded that one of the main culprits is TV!--By the time the average American child is 15 years old, he will have witnessed the violent destruction of more than 35,000 human beings on television, as well as 200,000 other brutal acts of violence!
Children's cartoons today also contain all kinds of sickening violence. Eclipsing "The Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles" and "The Simpsons", MTV's "Beavis and Butthead" has become a children's favorite. A far cry from the Disney cartoons of a generation ago, Beavis and Butthead routinely torture animals, set fire to furniture and engage in all kinds of abhorrent juvenile behavior.
Corrupted minds...I've really got nothing to say...because the change can only come from an individual himself...
