I don't have any enemies, not in any meaningful sense, but there are three people I would like to outlive. I don't spend much time thinking about them or wishing they would die but I look forward to being in a world where they're no longer spreading their poison.
Some people do make the world a better place by leaving it.
Oh, there are definitely people I would like to outlive, but that's not the question at hand.
Do people really have enemies? If a relationship or connection with another person isn't working for you, sever the connection. Thus, they are no longer an enemy.
Yes I did at one time due to the extreme abuse, then I let go and trusted that karma will torment him without any help from me.
We bought a house with land from somene who espoused to be a church-going Catholic but misrepresented what he sold us. He wouldnt compensate us and a legal battle would have been costly. So, we shined it off to being naive and got on with our lives. His son later died of cancer and while I didnt care for the dad, i felt bad that the son passed away leaving behind a young family. But, in the Great Recession, the dad lost quite a bit of money due to bad investments so it was at that point i could say Karma.
Please re-read the original post. It is not about wishing to outlive another person, but about enjoying the death of an enemy's mother, presumably an innocent person.

This is what I thought. If you hate someone, why would you even know if their mother died? Just ignore that they exist.
Even if the person is in your family or circle and you do find out this information, I'm not sure why you would waste emotion on them at all. Cut them out emotionally and move on.
There have been people in my life who I felt wronged me in one way or another, and I wouldn't mind seeing their actions come back to bite them in the butt in a way related to those wrongs, but no, I would not feel any pleasure to learn that someone they loved had died. That's just twisted, on several levels.
This is how I feel too. I don’t rejoice when people who have treated me very badly get sick or lose loved ones.
Honestly, I don’t think those would be healthy thoughts.
It may be taboo to celebrate someone's passing, but there are some people that I won't feel slightly bit bad about when they pass. Some people are just better off gone and that's OK for me. If he made the point od his existance to make yours miserable then peace out mother***.
Just to clarify, my ex-friend bullied me with his friends due to me coming out gay in college. He even went as far as to have undermined my indirect mutual relationships. The school admins and deans were useless. The deceased did not do anything spiteful to me, it is just end of her close relationship with my formal friend that makes me feel better.
I would go as far as send pink flowers with rainbow flags to her gravesite or him with an anonymous card that says something about the people they motivated me to be true to myself of who I am on the inside.
Nah, too crazy and too much work, Karma will just take care of things for me.
Because you hated your enemy but his mother did not deserve it. You just deliver pleasure from the fact that it hit him. How sick or normal is that? Is that common among people?
Being happy because someone's mother died - yeah, that's sick.
However, it CAN bring Schadenfreude

I did, I stand by what I said.
