In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with feeling good, even in the middle of societally certified disheartening conditions.
Sure, I assign responsibility and obligation in response to actions, but I firmly believe I get to feel however I want, regardless of what’s happening. (This may invite cliché ridicule and negative rationale, which is why I typically keep it to myself.)
Shame shame! Personal responsibility, especially for one’s feelings is a cardinal sin nowadays. We’re all supposed to run around, point fingers and act more emo than a BAD middle school play of Buffy the Vampire Slayer 😛 😀
I don’t always feel good on the surface because of horrible things that happen in the world, but I have a deep contentment, joy even, that stays with me.
Fairly well agree with you here. I don’t even feel bad when feeling good about some others’ contrived discomfort; simplest example, when someone gets absurdly moany-faced about a perceived PC-uncorrectness, I have found myself giggling at both the unhappy souls and mistaken perception of impropriety.
All the Masters of Life have experienced the most challenging conditions and blessed it all with gratitude, love and inner peace which I would say is feeling ‘good’. 💖✨
I know the need to feel good, for sure! But in dark moments, I always realize that I lack a layer of skin and just have to go with it.
I think I can relate. Ironically, to feel better, I kind of have to abide in the negativity without inflaming it, wallowing in it, or denying it. It always feels more nuanced than words can describe, in my opinion.
