Schadenfreude is irrespective of your own condition

"Dorothy Hendrix was shot twice by the gang of two men and a woman, but she managed to shoot one of her assailants in the stomach before dying of her wounds."

I hope she died laughing. Schadenfreude is irrespective of your own condition. When a fellow pushes you off a cliff, and you look back and see him stumble over the edge after you, you laugh all the way down.

Dorothy Hendrix, by Grapthar's hammer, you shall be avenged!
