How do you feel about this quote "quit laughing at other people's misery before you get miserable" ?

I've already been miserable so that means I can laugh at other people, according to that.

Sounds kinda stupid considering the current state of the world.

Basically everyone would be allowed to laugh at each other. Which is what we currently have.

[Agape93]

It's silly. I'm already miserable, so I'll engage in all the schadenfreude I want

[goaded]

It reminds me of this other quote:

“Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it's not satire, it's bullying.”

― Terry Pratchett

Laughing at other people's misery is a shitty thing to do at any time.

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

Sounds about right... what goes around will come around.

[DizzyDesii]

Quote or not, its just simply common sense not to laugh at others who are currently down bad

[fonduegirl]

That's a good quote.

We shouldn't mock other people's shortcomings.

[Justneedtokno]

I think it makes sense like they say the grass is not always greener on the other side

[DextroShade]

I only laugh at people's misery if they deserve it.

[goaded]

Yeah, "I'm sad I didn't get away with my crimes" doesn't engender sympathy.

[nolabels]

That's one of the best ever written.

[crossdressingrihno]

I think it’s a dumb quote and doesn’t apply to me.

[LiamJHayden]

Good advice.
