Should someone's misfortune - really give me inspiration?

Should someone's misfortune really give me inspiration?

A good friend, though we have never met (an internet friend) recently faced one of the worst situations a working person can face. She was fired. FIRED! Imagine that - a hard working, always giving extra effort, team player, compassionate, doing everything as right as reasonably possible was fired.

Having been there myself; totally surprised about being FIRED - by a first class jerk. Her situation brought back memories.... Totally astounded when they were WRONG..Struggling to carry my personal stuff home they had packed while was being fired.........walked out the back door like a criminal.......walking a few miles to the train station in heels and looking like a bag lady......ouch. Crying.....money...... what to do???

So the question is, is it right for me to be inspired to write a story about misfortune?

Story coming soon....
