Hera are some interesting explanation of certain emotions I found interesting:
Schadenfreude is enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone else.
Envy is unhappiness in another's good fortune.
On the other side there is:
Mudita, "sympathetic joy" or "happiness in another's good fortune,". It is cited as an example of the opposite of schadenfreude.
Pity or Compassion, is "unhappiness at another's misfortune",
