A very good friend of mine recently pointed out to me two simple life lessons that are worth learning and remembering.
Lesson #1: Do not mock another person’s pain (especially if you had a hand in causing it). Unless, of course, you want to receive the same treatment when it is your turn to be mired in misery.
Lesson#2: Do not gloat when victorious, particularly if you achieved your victory through deceit, betrayal, or some other unscrupulous means. Aside from being… well.. just wrong… this also reveals your lack of breeding, and your total absence of class. (Class after all, demands magnanimity.)
Too true, my dear friend, too true.
