"از بدبختی دیگران خوشحال نباش حتی اگر دشمن تو باشد"
— George Washington

Simplified Meaning:
Feeling happy about someone else's bad luck or problems, even if that person is your enemy, is not good. Imagine two kids in school who don’t like each other. If one of them falls and hurts themselves, it’s not right for the other one to laugh or feel pleased. Instead, it's better to show kindness or at least not be happy about the pain of others. When we take joy in others' suffering, it can make us feel worse in the long run and create more negativity around us. Showing compassion, even toward those we don’t like, can make the world a better place and might even turn enemies into friends.
