Does Schadenfreude Lead To Bad Karma? (Original Post)

(24,262 posts)1. Don't know about Bad Karma. It does give me bad gas. Especially if I have it with brats and beer.

I guess they don't believe in karma, they believe that if god loves them they will be blessed/rich.
Personally, I find it one of the most disgusting behaviors/feelings. My understanding is that it is finding joy in the suffering of others. Especially if the person suffering is well-off or usually lucky.

Dali Lama goes to a pizza place and says "Make me one with everything."
