I asked her about her joy and she unknowingly gave me her wound. It’s a pattern. We relate to each other through how much pain we go through together. Rarely we share the amounts of happiness. And it’s not a bad thing; we’re still communicating together.
But when you’re asked about your proudest moment, you state it - and then more than 80% of the time something else painful comes out of that. It’s a pattern human nature has grown up with in today’s society.
We need to share and promote the happiness, rather then turning to the sadness.
