Things That Are on Your Mind

[Dio]

How can one remain friends with people who wish you unhappiness behind your back?

Were they really your friends to begin with? Because that isn't what friends tend to do.

How can one remain friends with people who wish you unhappiness behind your back?

If they're doing that um are they even your friends in the first place?

Sounds like they have problems, perhaps they aren't happy with themselves?

You shouldn't. It can take time to get over being friends with someone even if they hurt you or did something behind your back to harm you, but the sooner you cut them from your life the sooner you'll be over them.

 

[DARK MASTER]

You shouldn't.

Though some folks want unhappiness, which is why I draw a distinction between happiness and satisfaction.

But if someone is satisfied they must be happy to some degree, right?

Not necessarily, because people can get want, without possessing any positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

Deep down I don't think anyone wants to be unhappy. If people are driving you to that point it's best to remove them from your life. If you're not happy with your "friends" you shouldn't be satisfied with them either.

When you eventually reach the point where you're longer caring about something/someone you thought you couldn't get over, that is a very liberating feeling.

I'm not equating being satisfied with jumping for joy, but it is a positive emotion close enough to happiness for me to link them.

 

[Dan]

Happy people are superior people I was told by someone.

That might be what it is ...

 

[DARK MASTER]

I'm saying it isn't an emotion, but simply the state of getting what one wants.

Deep down I don't think anyone wants to be unhappy.

I'm not sure mate, but I don't want to assume either. Though this sort of gets into my thoughts in value theory.
