- Oh much more vicious. It's the feeling of joy at another's
- misfortune. In the *faaabulous* new Oxford Book of Quotations
- (thank you, Santa :-)), there's an interesting example of the
- reverse emotion, in a quote of Gore Vidal's that goes
- approximately, "When I hear of a friend's success, a little
- part of me dies."
