I hope we're not overdoing this topic, but:
As well as humour and joy, we also have two kinds of humour. One of
them is the unpleasant kind, which involves laughing at someone else's
misfortune, and carries with it the implication of superiority. I
laugh at him becasue I'm better than him.
This sounds dangerously like pride, which as we all know is
the worst of the seven deadlies. Oops.
