I actually had an experience relevant to this recently I don't know what to make of.
I found out someone I dislike is dying. I didn't care. I wasn't happy they were dying. They've always treated me like shit and I've almost always been the bigger person. I admit my life will be easier when they're gone. Not substantially so though, certainly not to the point of wishing them dead. I don't wish that for their family or friends. Those folks, I do feel for. The person dying though? I feel nothing for.
This is in sharp contrast with every other experience I've had with someone I dislike experiencing great misfortune. I've always felt badly for them upon finding out. Now.... I feel nothing.
Is this an age thing?
