Do Some Enjoy Feeling Sorry for Others?

‎01-04-2013 03:17 PM

I've been thinking about motivation. No one does anything without getting something out of it.

People volunteer because it allows them to feel good about themselves.

People participate in dangerous activities because they like the adrenalin rush or maybe they have a death wish.

So, I've noticed that some posters are always near the front of the line in posting bad news and seem to resist moving on from the "sad news of the day". They are getting something out of it and I decided that they must enjoy feeling sorry about the plight of others. Maybe it makes their lives seem better when compared to the life of another.
