Okay, I'm going to do a word of the day because WHY DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW THIS WORD?
The blog doesn't even recognize it as a real word. Nor does the dictionary on my computer.
Compersion: feeling joy because someone else is joyful.
We know what jealousy is - to want someone else's good fortune for ourselves (more or less). But we don't know how to be happy for someone else's fortune? (Not entirely, but we sure don't know the word for it @_@ )
(Thanks to Patrick Rothfuss for bringing this word to my knowledge).
