We often misunderstand each other and this causes conflict to both parties. One example would be a person who is proud about his or her happiness. He/she shares their delight and gushes over it to their friends. They animatedly tell their story with genuine happiness and excitement. This is well and good over well-meaning people but to the jealous eyes, this is dangerous to the happy person. Jealous eyes will look at the person in a different light. To them, the happy person is bragging and shoving his/her success or progress up their noses. They can’t stand it and resent the happy person, thinking him/her insensitive.
I know that we should always be tactful and careful not hurt people but sharing genuine happiness is a good thing. Spreading good vibes is actually contagious and may actually uplift other people’s moods. A ray of sunshine is always welcome unless you have your own happiness issues and resent people whose smiles cast sunbeams.
This makes me sad because such negativity may bring the happy person down and may join their club of sullen people. Instead of feeling proud, the happy person will shrink back to their hole and instead feel ashamed of his/her good fortune. It may cause guilt on the happy person and feel sad over why the others didn’t have the same good fortune as him/her.
We can’t please everyone and let’s all keep in mind that those real people who matter will be happy for you no matter what. Let those jealous eyes seethe but don’t let them bring you down. Continue to do your best and be happy! Even if you try to hide it, happiness and success will always radiate from you.
