I dont even know what any of that means cuz only stupid people are truly just happy cuz theres not a lot going on in their head there. Smart people are unhappy and then really smart people get happy again cuz they’re unfulfilled and disappointed with existence but they’re smart enough to be like so-tf-what and enjoy life to the extent possible.
in what way though? Cuz pessimism is realism. But that doesn’t mean you have to be a shit about everything and cant be excited and positive. All happiness is just the removal of expectations. When you dont have expectations they can’t be crushed by reality. —which is not my wisdom, btw. That’s the buddhist concept of Nirvana. Except Budhists get it wrong because part of achieving nirvana is to also want for nothing. That’s fkking stupid cuz then you never try for anything. Its a cute concept if you’re a poor rice farmer in midland China 300 years ago or whatever but in modern day you gotta want stuff and gotta try to get it. Just dont expect it
You don’t have to make them feel good – you just cant inflict your unhappiness on them. Its not your obligation to boost them up and make everyone feel fuzzy – you just can’t stink up the joint with your own issues by grumpily trudging around and frowning and talking all cranky cuz we are pack animals and that is infectious to moral people. Sociopaths dont care about the moods around them and good people with high emotional IQ’s and empathy feel worse by the negative behaviors of others in public – so everyone has a moral obligation to not inflict negativity on those moral others. You can have a lousy day or be in a shitty mood and not go infecting others with it all the time. Acting happy is basically the “wear your mask” of emotions.
And it doesn’t mean acting “fake” which is most peoples rebuttal. Even though the “be true to yourself” bullshit is just narcissism. But no one says lie – just don’t be shitty. The axiom is to act “as happy as possible”. Whatever that possibility level is. you can be like “damn, I’m in a terrible mood, lol” and not “fkk you, get out of my way”
