The opposite of schadenfreude is
mudita, a Buddhist term for sympathetic or vicarious joy. It's the joy you feel when someone else succeeds
I could use a little mudita today. What do you have for me, fediverse? Hit me with your successes, the more mundane the better (but I'm all for hearing about your big wins, too)
@kims I helped out my partner with some graphic design today. She’s done it for over fifteen years and I only recently got a basic ui design cert, but I was able to contribute real help and offer suggestions she went forward with.
Just nice to see that I have some chops next to her and that I can contribute to her work. She recently got a publication grant and I want nothing more than to see her graphic novel succeed.
