Its a great feeling to be happy for the success of someone else, especially if it comes after a long period of struggle that you've observed up close. There is no trace of the residual guilt that comes with scahdenfreude--taking comfort in the misfortune of someone close to you. Neither is the feeling that the success is undeserved, which comes with your own success. It is just simple joy at the joy of someone close to you and your good fortune at being able to share in that joy. And, if you played a part in that success, the joy is magnified.
