Do you enjoy life at the expense of another person's happiness ?

I definitely try my absolute best to NOT do things that will make others unhappy because it is very difficult to have true happiness in your heart if there are others in pain to achieve it! But there are some things in life we do to achieve happiness that end up hurting others even though we don't intend for things to be this way. Take for example if you were to move interstate to start a new job. You would be happy and excited about your new career and new beginnings yet you leaving would make those left behind sad. Sometimes we can't help it.

Hi eliteness there is no way I would do anything to make someone else unhappy I would feel so guilty no way..its not nice that people do get a kick out of hurting others feelings for their own benefits..I could never think of it I would rather make someone else happy...littleowl

Hi there elitess! It is not right to enjoy life at the expense of other people. That is just so wrong! It's sad that a lot of people are like that. I work with people who are like that. I do not know how they handle it but it seems that they are happy with what they are doing. I think that people should be more sensitive of the feelings of other people.

Hi Elitess, No I don't enjoy life at anothers expense but I am selfish in a good way int that I will do whatever makes me happy. Years ago I used to run around trying to keep everyone else happy and by pleasing one I'd be upsetting someone else so now my happiness comes first and that has a knock on effect to others around me and they are happy too. If someone doesn't like what I do and they are unhappy about it that is down to them but I don't feel it is at their expense as such. Sorry for waffling on, hope all that made sense. LOL. Huggles. Ellie :D

Im really not into those pleasure derived from others' pain kinda thing. Its just a bit too sadistic for me. Though I can say that I might have done that once or twice out of vengeance or something but its usually something petty. Nothing serious. I wouldnt want others to hurt me so I dont hurt them. Though there are times when its ok to get hurt just so your loved one will be happy. Sad but true.

Hi elitess, No I am not happu because others are sad, I like to make others happy and make them laugh, that what I do best, as there has been people who used to make me unhappy and that give them a pleasures and I hated it. I like bing happy and to see others happy too. Tamara

No, I don't feel that at all. I shouldn't have to be happy at the expense of another at all. That is where you take someone else's spouse, possession, what have you and make it your own. Nope, that shouldn't make you feel good at all. Like with little kids, a kid is playing with something, another kid sees it and takes it for his or her own self unless someone tells them that that isn't good.

that's just so wrong.. i don't do it at all. if you need to make yourself happy well hurting others something is wrong. i know so many like this.. they are only happy when they are hurting others in the progress. these people just sucks..
