" Compersion is love manifested when a person takes joy in his or her loved one's happiness with another person. It is a form of empathy; that is, pleasure that a loved one is experiencing a good thing in his or her life. "

( From http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/compersion )

Discovered this term while googling the opposite of jealousy for an English assignment .
I like it a lot (: .

So this is what He feels , when he sees us in relationships pleasing to Him .
Yes , the bible tells us He's a jealous God , but only when we place other things above Him .

Well , I'm kind of looking at jealousy vs. compersion in relationships in my chosen text , and the text kind of raises the question whether the two can coexist properly in the reader's mind , without concretely posing it .

Like is love more jealousy or compersion ?

Tis very interesting :) .

But the sad thing is , neither Microsoft Word nor Firefox recognise it as a proper word ; yet they recognise ' Microsoft Word ' and ' Firefox ' .
I don't think I even need to analyse / dissect / explain this fact to show its implications .

In summary , what I'm trying to get at is that it's really sad .

( Hehe ; I discovered that there's a specific term for saying you won't say something , but saying it anyways today . It's a form of irony / contradiction , but I don't remember the name cause it's way hardcore O_O )
