## "Barcelona Smoked By Atletico Madrid, Well, At Their Own Expense" by @mahirabdullah

![](https://i.imgur.com/K1ya2XL.jpg)

Barcelona - Atletico Madrid, two of the world’s elites. But one of them is suffering a tide too much under the transition and that would be Barcelona. The club has signed several players in the last half-decade to fill the void left by Neymar. But none of them was a sensible one. The latest in this long list of so-called *“Fan signings”* is Antoine Griezmann. The celebrated Frenchman was the star man at the red half of Madrid and someday he expressed his wishes to play for Barcelona and the transfer took place. Barcelona wanted to calm the fans more than they wanted to replace Neymar and this is the result. Griezmann’s career went downhill. And of course, Atletico suffered without their stellar forward who played as a shadow striker at Atletico.

Going to Barca brought many changes to Antoine’s role. He was primarily tasked to play at the wings, which is absolutely not his role. So, he lost his touch, the world lost Griezmann as they knew him. Fast forward a little in time, Barcelona is set to let go of the prolific Uruguayan Luis Suarez. The club allegedly humiliated the player upon his departure, for which Suarez was grieved. Guess who bought him from Barca? Atletico. Buying him for a measly 2.5 million euros and Atletico actually won the league with his help. Okay, that’s one sting in Barca’s back.

Now, the very next season. Griezmann was having a rough time, so finally, Barcelona decided to let him go. On a loan deal, to Atletico Madrid. Yes, they sent him back from they took him. And getting back at his old club and role, Griezmann flourished again. And Barcelona? Their jaws dropped that they lost their only good striker and that to a rival club. And also are in contention of a potential 70-million-euro net loss in both Griezmann deal. Barcelona was stunned by Atletico Madrid in both on-field and off-field aspects. And today Atletico are enjoying the duo of Suarez and Griezmann, while Barcelona? Well, being Barcelona.

# "Epicaricatic - a mouthful" by @surrealfia

It's not a guilty pleasure. It's not forbidden. It's not frowned upon.

Even the wisest and the noblest of men may find themselves laughing at someone else's misfortune. There are millions and millions of vines and Tiktok videos that prove, we *sometimes* enjoy others' misfortune.

***Schadenfreude***

If you don't know the definition, then what does this word sound like to you? To me, it sounded as if someone is up to some shenanigans. If you want the definition, you can look it up on google. In my simple words, when you see a stranger slips his footing, falls on his butt and you start laughing, that's *Schadenfreude*. Don't beat yourself over laughing at someone's misery, everyone does it from time to time, even the ones in misery, laugh too. People wouldn't spend hours or days to formulates pranks to put someone through hassle if there isn't fun involved.

There's a saying in Japan that translates ***“The misfortune of others tastes like honey.”*** We're not all good, and we're not all bad either. And just because you're laughing at someone else's bad luck, doesn't make you a *rotten to the core* being. It's not that others' misery is amusing to all of us, it's often a case that we find our misery a little less painful when we see another person is having a bad day as well. Do we seek out pleasure in pain? Certainly. A masochist would find pleasure in the pain that's inflicted on him but not others. A sadist, however, will find pleasure in the pain that's inflicted on others. Are we all a little bit of a sadist and a little bit of a masochist? Call it dark humor.

***You cry, I laugh, the world laughs.***

I believe many of my compadres will remember a certain comprehension where a man's loss of a pair of shoes dissipated upon seeing a feetless beggar. It means that sometimes seeing someone else in pain gives us the opportunity to forget our pain temporarily - it's a very twisted concept but hey, who has ever been simple - no one. It's a bizarre way of seeking comfort. The world is black, white, and gray. If we were all black and white then there wouldn't be anyone sharing vines of unfortunate incidents and the rest of the world wouldn't be laughing. 

We're not angels, we're not demons - a little bit of both attributes we have within us - we're humans. In our nature, most of the time, the pain saddens us, we seek joy in normal things, whether it's in ours or others - that's the *white side.* We inflict pain on others - perhaps that's the *black or darker sides.* So, I suppose *gray areas* would be a mix of both - hence the fifty shades of grey or gray (pun intended). When we ourselves find humor in our debacle, when we drop our untouched ice cream, can we blame others if they're laughing at our silliness?

***The unicorns don't exist.***

## "Fiddling while Rome burns!" by @chrysanthemum

*Fiddling while Rome burns!*

We all know this idiom. But sometimes it made me wonder about the origin. It has made people come up with a number of interpretations, but there's no concrete historical evidence that proves that Niro's was fiddling at the exact time of the historical event.

Moreover, there is no archeological reference of such musical instrument called fiddle or violin in AD 64.

Doing trivial things amidst the hottest event or an emergency situation by an individual is described with the reference of this phrase. It has a great connection with the devastating event of a great fire by which the mighty city of Rome had been destroyed.

The big lesson to be learned here is giving importance to the right thing; I say arranging them in a priority-based order. You will definitely find out the most crucial one. Many of us get puzzled with unimportant stuff, ignoring serious issues that are must to deal with. Singing about Troy and watching a city be burned into ashes can be considered as a good example of that certain human behavior which is a must to avoid.

However, it is crucial to look at the other side of the coin as well. Newton's great theories of motion have made me think about this idiom in a new way of looking. Every action definitely has a reaction! When you are trying to do any work or want to bring any changes, you surely will find out some people who will always try to pull you back. Criticism is good and I love them. But personally, I adore the constructive ones.

If you do nothing, you are going to get nothing. Nofeedback. Whereas if you contribute, you will definitely get the feedback;believe me, that will be the positive one. No matter Niro fiddles or not; firesburns or not; people give a damn or not, we are and will be humble and glad, inspreading the vibe of love and peace.

That is the oath today...
Chillax!!

## "Pleasure at the misfortune" by @toushik (tahminasyed: I think that the points mentioned here, are also mentioned on others posts, so this post can be omitted, if posts are sacked that is)
 
Schadenfreude has two sides. One is that someone is getting what they deserve, and the other is that someone close to them is enjoying that truth. Is it good or bad to rejoice in the sorrows of others? I think it depends on ones' situation. For instance, for someone who is a terrible person; a pedophile, a rapist, or just a sinful person, it is normal to feel joy when they get stopped.
 
Suppose your boss is constantly crushing your ass on the ground; of course, you will be happy when their own boss does it with them. Bad things happen to good people, and we say, aww, bad things happen to bad people, and we feel sad. I enjoy satire, but not necessarily *Schadenfreude*. I have no enemies, and I don't care about those who have hurt me in the past. I know someone who is now a deranged patient in a locked ward with the smell of vomit and pisses, and very rarely one of his four sons visits him, maybe a just consequence, but I am not rejoicing with his fate.
 
In a sense, I would say that Schadenfreude has certain unusual humour that I can't comprehend, so I tend to stay out of the situation.

# "One leading to another" by @riazud (tahminasyed: I think that the points mentioned here, are also mentioned on others posts, but here it is said in simple words so I am confused if to suggest to sack it or not, as in one post schadenfreude is explained in details, maybe this can be sacked, if posts are sacked it is)

![](https://i.imgur.com/GAbisqC.jpg)
 
Schadenfreude is something that everyone has faced at any given point in their life, most people have it in their childhood, or a few people cultivate it throughout their whole lifetime. Having it in infancy, I feel it is pretty okay, but as we grow up physically, we should keep the mental growth in the same row too and kick out that worst thing from our life; otherwise, people wouldn't be recognized as the most developed creatures in the whole world. If you look at an animal’s life when one member of its species gets injured, you notice that all members of that species gather together and try to do something for that animal's wellbeing.
 
But if you look at your society, you can notice some people get happy when someone is going through bad times. Such a worst thing, right? You may think that you haven't it in any period of your life, then I would like to request you to memorize your childhood, when you do not adequately know what is truly right and what is truly wrong, at that age when someone fell down while running or walking, didn't you laugh at that time? I know you did it, I did too, and everyone does during their childhood.
 
Hehe...sorry, I'm laughing because I can recall a memory from the past, that I'm going to share now… I had an older sister, when she was about 5-6 years old, one fine afternoon she was walking outside while it was raining. She slithery slipped while watching the scenery. One auntie who was in our neighborhood started laughing heavily rather than giving her a helping hand. By noticing that scenery, another aunty came and helped her stand on her feet.
 
A few days later, the aunty who laughed at the fall, visited my place when mom wasn't home. She offered my sister to hold her baby for a few minutes, whenever she left the house. To take revenge on the mother, my young sister happened to slap the young toddler once or twice, which eventually made the toddler cry. Hearing the baby cry, the lady returned and took her away, realizing what happened. Now, just imagine if the lady wouldn't have mocked my sister the other day then my sister wouldn't have had the grudge to take revenge.
 
If our seniors practice ill behaviors, how will we predict that the children will be innocent? After all, children do mimic the elders and follow their path. Still, whenever the memory comes into our mind, we laugh out, as it was very silly to do so.
