Word of the day: mudita.

It's the opposite of schadenfreude.

Instead of taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune, mudita is taking joy in someone else's success:

• Your friend's album dominates the charts, and you feel like you won too.
  ​
• Your colleague lands the dream client, and you think, "heck yes."
  ​
• Your arch rival wins the championship, and somehow, you respect the heck out of it.

No envy.

No comparison.

Just joy.

Who or what do you feel mudita for?

PS - I used to feel happyish when the Phillies lost, but I felt mudita when they ended their recent skid.

🎵 Music

​There’s a Riot Goin’ On by Sly and the Family Stone. Recorded largely by Sly himself using early drum machines and overdubbing, the album rejected polish in favor of murk and atmosphere. Its stripped-down, insular sound marked a sharp turn away from the band’s earlier optimism.
