I take no pleasure in another man's death

I take no pleasure in another man death, no matter how much I think he deserved it. That doesn't mean I feel sorry for this man, or wish he were still alive. I just take no joy in it. He wasn't the devil, he wasn't evil incarnate; he was just broken,[1] a tragically short-circuited human being in a world that permits such horrible mistakes to become leaders.

What I mean by that is there is no need for a supernatural explanation or metaphors. Why invent a Devil when we are so good at messing things up ourselves?
