actually that's my morning's education seen to thank you. schadenfreude; what a marvelous word! nowhere near as brittle as our tenuously equivalent sadist and in fact, spoken through the tones of a calm and deeply resonant male, almost invokes an ironic compassion for those possibly inflicted by such a condition.
this really was just an amusing observation after the wave of feeling fiendishly german but relevant all the same. there are some photographers that regularly use toys that on a single outing would sufficiently double-fund a healthy deposit on a small plot of land in the country. it's not eighteen mil granted but considerably more than most would rub together in their palms on a day. my point (perhaps not so clearly articulated) was, that whichever way you look at it, to be given an opportunity to do something that perhaps a large proportion of the population might salivate and drool over (irrespective of whether you're artistically elevated to greatness or you roll your chopper), is still an incredible privilege no?
