Schadenfreude

I Corinthians 13:6. "Love... does not rejoice in unrighteousness"

There is a German word, schadenfreude, whose usage in English has become common. I asked one of my pastors, who is fluent in German, what it meant. His response was, "Sin."

The word covers a concept that English does not have a word for. Roughly, it means "the joy one takes in the misfortune of others."

I normally do not comment on the "And the rest is detail..." posts because I like them as unadorned encouragement. However, I could not resist a little word play.
