secret pleasure
There is something that I take a secret pleasure in...not what you are thinking probably.. I take a secret pleasure when people that have done something wrong have something bad happen to them, either caused by their wrongdoing or when it is something oddly related. For instance, there was a recent wreck where two young men died. I found a secret pleasure in the fact that they had stolen a 4-wheeler shortly before the wreck. I also know a woman who lied to get her prescriptions for free for years....only to come down with colon cancer and have to rely on the very system that she abused. Scenarios like this seem to be such sweet, poetic justice. While I feel bad for those involved, I do not feel sorry. As evil as it may seem to think it, they have received their comeuppance.

You really think people deserve to DIE for stealing, or to get cancer for getting free medication???
It's not that I think they deserve to die, but it seems as though they are receiving some justice sometimes. I wouldn't wish cancer or anything like that on anyone, but can enjoy the irony of someone abusing the system winding up needing it to survive. For every person out there abusing the programs the pharmaceutical companies have in place for patient assistance, there is someone who actually needs the assistance, but cannot get it. And with the two young men who died in the wreck, it was horrible that they died, but the fact that they had committed a crime immediately beforehand almost made their deaths seem like a punishment for it. It is very hard to explain the feeling accurately.
