pity = (−i, −u)
(i feel bad for u)
mourn with those who mourn1
envy = (−i, +u)
(i wish i were u)
but ... envy slays the simple2
mudita = (+i, +u)
(i am glad for u)
rejoice with those who rejoice1
schadenfreude = (+i, −u)
(i'm glad i'm not u)
but ... whoever gloats over calamity
will not go unpunished3
like earth's magnetics
polarity shift happens
and life recycles
... pity ... envy ... mudita ... schadenfreude ...
