See the image above, look at the number of views
and also the video suggestions and what do you find.
When you see people in misfortune how
would you feel? If instead of feeling sorry for them, you feel delighted or it pleasures you in someways, well that is - schadenfreude.
In some cases of funny videos, the novelty of the
situation is obviously the key on what makes is so funny, but the reality is most of
it are just people getting badly hurt.
The word originates from a German word and the way to pronounce it correctly is - scha·den·freu·de.
As a citizen of Malaysia, the norm of our people is that we do not applause when
others were in the state of misery. Remember when our parents gave us
stern, shaming looks if we laughed when others were having trouble? Well
guess what, the lesson is not learnt entirely because Schadenfreude is actually a natural feeling for everybody, even our parents felt it.
