Why You Shouldn't Gloat

Gloating might make you feel momentary satisfaction, but it's a terrible Longterm strategy.
Are you gloating today? Have recent events filled you with a triumphant and malicious satisfaction, a sense of gratification or delight, a desire to rub it in someone else’s face? Maybe you’re Photoshopping prison bars onto photos of a certain political figure and posting them to your long-dormant Facebook account so distant relatives can see how happy you are?
I get it. A lot of us have hoped for the indictment of the Tangerine Turd for a long time. But while I don’t want to scold anyone for enjoying some deserved schadenfreude, there’s a right and a wrong way to gloat, and being too publicly happy about the Turd’s indictment is a little unseemly and could come back to haunt you.
