?

I meant I'm sorry that you have problems, but at the same time I'm happy because I can't have such problems at all.

I know, i'm just asking if there's a name in English for that (or in any language, for that matter).

'Indifference' and 'Heartlessness' are the best I can find.

Wait, isn't being happy for youself and sorry for others just called gratitude?

Er...no. :/ (Unless that is sarcasm..?)
Gratitude is appreciation for (generally) someone else's work.
The antonym of gratitude is 'ingratitude'.

I think we're looking at selfishness for that definition.

...We're getting off-topic. We should go. We should go now.
