I have this cousin who is literally the most annoying human being, selfish, rude, spoiled, just a train wreck of a person. I sometimes feel bad for him and what it must be like to be so miserable, but that feeling quickly goes away anytime I'm around him again.
That got me thinking, how would I react if he died today? A few of my other cousins feel the same way and it would look quite hypocritical if we showed up to his funeral all sad when everyone knows we never got along. I obviously wouldn't be happy but I think I'd feel more sad for his parents/the rest of the family tbh
It would be different if it weren't family and just some asshole from high school, in which case I wouldn't be afraid to feel good that the world is a little better off with one less piece of ****. Have any of you been in this situation?
