In a country where poverty is rife and unemployment the order of the day, what is there to celebrate when someone is out of employment?
Celebrating other people’s struggles is tantamount to wishing them death. Poverty is painful and stressful, it is not something that can make us rejoice when it befalls someone else. There can never be meaningful progress for any society if a section of it is trapped in poverty.
Laughing at those who are having it hard simply because we don’t want them to shine is both childish, barbaric and antidevelopment. We all deserve nice, peaceful life; there is no need to clap when other people are struggling. If someone falls, it is our collective duty to lift that person up, lest their fall creates a cavity into which we all fall in the future.
