empathy vs schadenfreude

so this morning, when i saw that an old friend had changed his fb status to single. and his picture was black. and he had a depressing message. my heart went out to him. i've been heartbroken. i would never wish that on anyone else.

and then mandy reminded me that today is april 1st. crap.

this is not funny. you shouldn't joke about things like this!

i wasted precious empathy on him. and we all know i don't have that much to go around.


now excuse me while i go look up "gullible" in the oed to make sure it's still there.
