Having fun is good. Laughing together helps strengthen bonds.
But laughing at someone else when they miserable or when something doesn’t go right for them (even if they are someone you are close to) is outright insensitive.
And as far as I know, these are nice people who do not wake up one morning to mock others. This mockery is a very subconscious yet a consistent reaction. Which is why it bothers me.
When you are not consistently understanding that you as a citizen of this world are here to make the world better, you undoubtedly go make the world worse. How you make the world better could be through your corporate job or through your business or by being a great parent or whatever you have decided to do. It is this pursuit towards world betterment that leads to inevitable self betterment, and hence, a resultant unawareness to mock fun at others.
It might seem it is hard to not mock at others or to control yourself when someone is miserable.
I’d say it is the easiest thing in the world to do, just that only complex and impassive people cannot afford it.
