I've felt that bad vibe of others enjoying my misfortune and it never sits well with me. Just recently it happened and it really got to me, but instead of lowering myself to their level, I rose above it, was polite, courteous and I chose to show true positivity of spirit in their own success and what they were doing. I don't think they notice it because people these days are so entitled that they almost expect everyone to simply lavish on the praise when they do something but nobody is allowed to say anything when they do something below the belt.
I've caught myself reveling in another's failure before and I notice now that it certainly wasn't seated in envy, it was seating in a vibration of hatred due to previous issues I had with the person. It's always a double edged sword and what you put out into the world will undoubtedly come back your way.
That's a really interesting perspective and yeah, I GET IT that when you have an issue personally with someone, it's easy to feel less than empathetic when something "bad" happens to them.
You're so right about the double edged sword!!
