why do we laugh ON others?

hi... blogging today after a looong time... i was planning to write something else but then as i was feeling deeply regarding this topic, so thought that i should pen it down first....

i have got a younger sister. she is in school.

in her school, they were having competitions for the selection in different sports. she plays basketball and so she too went to try her hand out...

some girls were standing out there watching everybody perform and giving their expert comments (inspite of not even having enough courage to take part themselves..)

there my darling sis also took part in long jump..
unfortunately she fall short by a few centimeters. and those gold medalists(in making fun of others) started laughing.

this seems to be such a small incidence.. it definitely wouldn't have made any impact on many people's lives.. but my sis had to fight back her tears at the moment. she felt so bad that she even told me that she is never going to take part in sports again.

this was a heart-break for me..
touchwood she plays whenever she wants to even now.. but then it's not that often..
maybe because of the work-load that has increased manyfolds..
but then deep within, i still hope that the incident i've stated has got nothing to do with it.

it takes a moment to make fun of others but to the person, it might take whole life to come out of that guilt and embarrassment to which he was actually no reason at all! alas, if world was blessed with more people who are considerate towards others....

I agree with you, that some people make fun of others without thinking about what the other person might feel. But, those who make fun of others are actually insecure deep down within themselves and when they see a weakness in someone else they get involved in such acts just to make themself feel superior and better ... hopefully your sister will take part in such events in the future and won't get affected by this.
