Is it bad to feel good about someone really bad having bad things happen to them?

Someone treated me very badly a long time ago and was completely indifferent about it. She’s a churchgoer who believes that she can do whatever she wants and not only will she get away with it, she will be forgiven. That’s how she rolls. I hope there’s a hell and that it has a special place for her. But not long ago I heard things like how she had an ugly divorce and that her father died. I felt good with a sense that there was justice and without regret for feeling so good

I think that's sort of human. Not good...but human. Move on, don't dwell on it, and try to forgive yourself.

I am also human. When I hear about bad things happening to people who were once close to me, and during and after my divorce said some absolutely horrible things that I can't forget, I can't help but feel that little thing...that thing that makes you want to dance on the graves of those who have hurt you.

I asked God to forgive me for feeling that way, and I try to move on, sort of like your church going person that you mention. However, I have never, ever tried to treat anyone badly...so I felt I did not deserve what I got.
