why do i get so sad after i get really happy? i don’t understand it. it’s like when i feel my feelings, they have to be extreme.
I suppose this is one interpretation of what is called the pursuit of happiness. Life is of full of things that make you happy, as well as things that may negatively impact your happiness. Hypothetically, if someone works really hard to become and remain happy, they could be devastated if they become unhappy. Perhaps some degree of moderation with wanting to be happy is a good idea.
