There is a famous quote'Mock at misery but never mock at a person in misery'.This quote sums it all. There are people in this world who take pleasure in teasing and mocking at people who are below them,mostly financially. They carry an air of arrogance. It hurts and its like rubbing salt into a wound.have you ever mocked at people who are in deep problems or have you ever been a victim?

I have never and never will mock at others misery. If I do that, then I might get bad luck. Besides, that won't do us any good. But I have been a victim of mockery. Not just by one person, but a group.

Yes you are right. What we give we receive is the law of nature.We give love we get back love in abundance and likewise we give bad thought and we can surely wait for our bad times to come sooner than later

Totally right. I wonder why other people like mocking a person when that certain person didn't even do anything wrong.

Gautham Buddha once said that the pain of hurting someone physically will vanish after sometime. But the pain inflicted on someones emotions and sentiments will linger for life. How true.Such misguided people must be told sternly to mind their business instead of tarnishing other's name and peace

Thankfully I have never been a victim of such mockery. But yes I have observed people with an air of arrogance. Even that sounds very rude to me. I personally feel that more rich you are more humble one should be. There is one good saying that a fruit laden tree is always looking down.

Yes it is these half vessels that make more noise. People must shun such stupids who think that making fun of others is a way to enhance they status in society. They dont realise that it has a reverse effect.

my mother have always told us from when we were young to be in the shoes of another person ~ which means when and if i am in the situation what would i want people to do for me ... laugh at me or help me ...
People who love mocking others are dumb and stupid. I would use worst words but My Lot community would ban me ... they do not know why and why and why we are in the situation in the first place ~ everything we do today has been taking turns and curves all our life and this is where it has laid us ... it is not instataneous ...
cheers

I believe in the LAw of Karma. We all suffer and enjoy because of our past deeds. But i feel its inhuman to make fun of others. It hurts more when that person is down and suffering. If we are not in a position to help,we must at least keep our mouth shut

No, i don't like to mock people who are in misery and in a despair situation. I just don't get much fun doing that by poking fun at these people or get the pleasure by being an arrogance jerk just because i have more money than them or financially more stable. It is only for those individual who are meanspirited.

yes majority of the people dont like to hurt other's. Its not a fair and civilised way of behavior. People who mock think they will always be in the same position. They dont realize that it takes just a moment to make a millionaire a beggar.

Hi Preethaanju,
It's really low of a person to mock anyone suffering with some kind of affliction. You might not like a person, but we should never make fun of them. Some make fun of people just for the fun of it, but if they were on the receiving end, they wouldn't think it is so funny. They get to feel what that kind of pain is. I believe in Karma, so I will try to treat people in the same way I would want them to treat me. If I have to take my leave of a person, it doesn't mean that I don't like them.. it just means that I can't have a relationship with that person for whatever reason.

Yes such people will realise the pain they are causing only when they become victims. They think it enhances their place in society by doing so. On the contrary they are look down upon for their silly attitude
