Joy
I'm trying to make "joy" my personal keyword for the day.
Why not.
There is a four part Buddhist prayer and the third part of the prayer states -
"May they never be separated from the highest bliss which is free of suffering."
The they in the prayer refers to everyone and the highest bliss is simply - joy.
So the line is a determined interest in wanting everyone to have joy now.
In simplest terms the prayer would read - Joy Now.
We are talking about Joy not Schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is taking joy in somebody's misery or failure, particularly an enemy. This is a big no no. We can't do this. Its actually low low brow and we are much better than that.
So - Joy and then I'm going to sleep cause I'm beat.
