人間の心には互に矛盾した二つの感情がある。勿論、誰でも他人の不幸に同情しない者はない。所がその人がその不幸を、どうにかして切りぬける事が出来ると、今度はこっちで何となく物足りないような心もちがする。少し誇張して云えば、もう一度その人を、同じ不幸に陥れて見たいような気にさえなる。そうして何時の間にか、消極的ではあるが、或敵意をその人に対して抱くような事になる。
There are two contradicting emotions within the human heart. Needless to say, there isn't a person who doesn't feel empathy towards other's misfortunes. However, when you see a person finally able to overcome their misfortunes it is possible to feel a sense of dissatisfaction. To exaggerate a little, it leaves you with a sense that you want to see that person fall into the same misfortune again. Before you know it you unwillingly harbour a sense of hostility towards them.
