Unhappy about Happiness

I had a thought today...

What if what makes one person truly happy makes another person unhappy?

This must happen at some time some where in this world. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Synergy rarely happens in this world hence why it is such a beautiful thing. For what helps one must hinder another whether it be emotionally, economically, physically, mentally, or any other possibility.

As all of us know, happiness requires work and effort but isn't it the intelligent and wise thing to do to make it easier and require less work? If it takes half the energy to get twice as much done, isn't that the better method to the intended means?

Does doing what is in one's best emotional, physical, natural interest wrong if it causes harm and hurt?

Just a thought...

  1. Not everyone can be happy at the same time. So I would assume that each individual person would weigh the benefits vs. risks for the best outcome. However people often are subjective, no matter how OBJECTIVE they would LIKE to be. They can't gauge how things can affect everyone else, because they are NOT everyone else, and do not have time to consult with everyone for every decision in their life. Also self-preservation could be a deciding factor.

  3. Sorry to disappoint stranger. Although "eerily" may mean that's a relief to you. Came across your site, and your thoughts intrigued me. Thought I'd give you a little insight of my own. Best of luck in your happiness.
