For example, this joke

The Impatient Immortal

A man was about to starve to death in the desert, when he picked up the magic lamp.

Magic Lamp: "I can only grant you one wish, tell me quickly, I'm in a hurry."

Man: "I want a wife..."

The magic lamp immediately conjured up a beautiful woman, and then said disdainfully: "You are almost starving to death and you still covet beauty! How sad!" After that, she disappeared.

Person: "...cake."

Did you laugh after reading it?

Joke like this will make people laugh

Gloating about misfortune is this kind of psychology

Because I am not familiar with the person involved

It has nothing to do with my own interests

It is like reading this joke

Laughing

Not as evil as everyone thinks

If you cry after reading that joke

It just means you are abnormal

The mentality of people who take pleasure in others' misfortune is just to ignore the matter and ignore it.
