First of all, what is true love? Do such things even exist? I'll start it out with a quote:
“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, boastful, proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it does not keep record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice bit rejoices when truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, it is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever.” (The Holy Bible; 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a, NLT Version)
Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel. Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action—true love. In any other way, true love is slowly created and not readily made. How can anybody know whom to love at first if they don't even interact with people in their community?
To sum it up, true love is the product of true devotion, meaning love would never succeed if couples would not even bring trust to one another, for example, in a married relationship, problems tend to arise. Ordinary, immature couples would handle this by quarreling and complaining. This does not show love at all. This is one proof that such kind of love is just based on physical or forced attraction which proves worthless at all. On the other hand, experienced married lovers handle the situation by talking to each other in the proper manner to solve everything. That proper manner is looking for the solution together thus the words trust and true love comes in. They establish an even tighter bond with each other through hard times and good times. This is unconditional love. Love that tends to fill those gaps in the heart with new hope and determination to further live. That is being true to the heart!

Disastrous Blessings?
Though blessings are supposed to be fruitful, nevertheless, they'd appear to pose a threat. You may wonder how but the explanation is simple. Not all that you are able to see and get are real, sometimes, such awful things comes disguised in nice pretty presents. In short, not everything is a heavenly bliss of happiness.
One may easily think that acquiring blessings are always nice. Yes, that is quite true but the bottom line here is what if the blessing you try to get just puts you into deep water? What I mean is if such thing you may want to have is hard to get, it will jut be a burden. An example is forbidden love. Such luck and happiness will be felt if those two lovers are able to enjoy a life of free loving. To get such blessing, they try their own way of having it and that is by eloping. True, when they meet, that truly is the blessing but with that blessing comes another disastrous package, that is the force that will try to break their newly found joy. As an effect, they will be harshly separated where in it involves true separation by the death of one lover or by killing each other to be set free of such life.
True, life is unfair and their blessings try to shape and test ones future but to any extent, it is up to the person to maneuver his or her way out of such mess and one should always think of the right decisions for not all blessings are wonderful, some will give you more than pain if you don't handle them carefully. Disastrous blessings will not exist if one would be good enough to sort out life's presents.

Pleasure-in-others'-misfortune
It is not enough to succeed; others must fail. (Gore Vidal)
Malice is like a game of poker or tennis; you don't play it with anyone who is manifestly inferior to you. (Hilde Spiel)
The emotion of pleasure-in-others'-misfortune (Schadenfreude in German) is generally regarded as morally evil. It is often considered to be less acceptable than envy, which is regarded as a deadly sin. It would appear to be morally wicked to be pleased with another person's misfortune than to be displeased with another person's good fortune.
People tend to feel this way for various reasons. One of this is because they wanted the same misfortune they felt to befall another who tends to be more blessed and successful compared to them. If we put it this way, it is not a form of revenge but a kind of twisted moral judgment for why would one desire for another person's
misfortune? Basically, the answer is "If I don't deserve it, why does she have it?" This is pretty idiotic. Of course you must be contented of what you have. The bottom line is people despise another who surpasses him for he thinks he deserves more. As a result, they tend to laugh at others whenever they fall down to ashes. This leaves them satisfied with what had happened and proud that they are able to surpass that certain person.
Normally, this topic is quite true between sisters, family and even friends. Once these people had reached the peak of their success, one gets jealous and tries to wreck havoc in that happiness. Though they might not show how they really feel, once you turn your backs, they laugh as if there is no tomorrow for joy is what they feel for your defeat.
