Morning Thought
Added 2023-08-14 12:37:19 +0000 UTCIf you can't be happy for others, you've probably got some shit to work on.
I know when I'm feeling down, I often get selfish. Not in a "all these potato chips are mine" type of way, but more in an obsessed with my own thoughts type of way.
It's hard to be happy for others when you're feeling low -- you're in your own head and you're protecting your own ego.
So, perhaps "being happy for others" is a good mental metric, an indicator of our happiness and success. If we're cheering people on, if we get enjoyment out of seeing others around us succeed, then perhaps we're actually in a pretty damn good place.

I love the idea of using this as a metric. It's so easy to notice compared to certain other versions of selflessness that take time to learn.
