Is sadness stronger than happiness

re: Is sadness stronger than happiness

first of all i really like the way you explain things :k:

secondly i think sadness is stronger than happiness, now all u said cannot be denied but think about it, if you have a happy moment in the past which you really really enjoyed and is one of your best memory, now when you think about it u do feel little joy the time you recall all that, but right after ur done reviewing it u feel this feeling of sadness (like you wish that moment stayed forever or somehow could repeat it self again the same way)

So happiness does end up in sadness means sadness does take over at the end.

Sadness wins

Now what u have to say about that:)

@diwana

It is a battle of happy versus sad event, its perception as well as expression which eventually is observed.

So there are three steps:

1- The event

2- The preception of the event.

3- And the last one is expression of the event.

**All three variables make the result in the form of happiness or sadness.

**Do you see the last two of factors actually depend on the person and first one is merely an event?

**Hence it is up to the person 2/3rd of the time to bring the result.
**
When you say sadness is stronger or longer lasing, then this is very subjective. In your example it really depends on all three factors how strongly, the sad event during happy ocassion would take over; or vice versa.

As for the second factor above, a person who has for any reason happiness of mind will express the happiness outside and a sad person will do the opposite.

There is no generalized rule which can be applied universally when it comes to emotions felt by the people.

Have you not come across people who find sad event funny and happy event sad?

P.S. I notice your previous post had emphasis of repetition (over and over again) and now you are talking about strength or sustenance of the emotions.

P.S. 2 Good topic.
