Oh please. How could you even begin to quantify something like that? And if "net happiness" was your concern, you certainly wouldn't rejoice at seeing someone feel sad.
Like I said, SU, it reeks of desperation to feel vindicated, and you are looking entirely in the wrong place. You should know that someone else's actions has no effect on whether or not you personally made the right decision. Every time you look at another person's acts to vindicate your own acts, you expose an inner lack of self-confidence and security.
