Contemplating the less than good, but better than neutral mood while falling asleep, it occurred to me the morality around when one is allowed to “feel good/happy”.
Certainly, this pervasive morality is a huge part of hitting a ceiling on how I feel.
Extreme hypotheticals put this morality in sharp relief.
Happy while wars rage on? Happy even if I were to witness the worst of human depravity, stay happy? This morality strictly forbids this!
Carrying a few extra kilos? No happy for ‘you’!
Not fit and healthy as possible? No happy for ‘you’!
The audacity to feel good all the time, come what may!!!
Nice. Very nice indeed .Now that’s something I can channel my subversive tendency towards!
