Too much fun?

I would say there’s no such thing as too much fun. However, I might be wrong! Let’s start by saying that boredom is not any kind of amusement. Therefore, when a person is enjoying what they’re doing, they do a better job.

Generally speaking

In general, when one has fun and enjoys life, they feel better. At the moment of feeling enjoyment, it feels like more things could be accomplished in a short time.

That being said, is it true that the happier a person is, the better? Well, not necessarily. Some studies show that there is a darker side to feeling good. Moreover, they say that the pursuit of happiness can sometimes make an individual less happy.

Excessive joy can make a person naive, self-centered, and less successful. Who would have thought this? However, happiness has benefits. It can protect us from strokes and common colds.

It makes us more resilient to pain and even prolongs our lives. Nevertheless, Mr. Gruber, a psychology professor at Yale University, asserts that it’s important to experience positive moods in moderation.

To understand this, we can think of happiness as food: necessary and valuable, but too much can cause problems. Similarly, happiness can lead to bad outcomes.

Our abilities…

We humans have special abilities to recreate our environments and surroundings with ideas. Ideas that obviously will alter the character of our environment. We settle into ideas and images, to describe actions and attribute meaning to them. People dream and during sleepless nights, they often think about things that never happened and never will.

It is worth noting that this capacity for independent and abstract thought helps us establish models or standards of behavior. We imagine “ideal” conditions and compare what is before us with those visions.

This can be the problem. Psychologists point out that emotions adapt. Therefore, emotions make us change our behavior to help us survive. For example, anger prepares us to fight; fear helps us to flee. Sadness prepares us in a more systematic way.

Sad individuals are attentive to details and outward-oriented, while happy people tend to make hasty judgments that may reflect racial or sexual stereotypes.

Many people are unaware that cheerful people are much easier to deceive, as they cannot detect lies as easily as those in negative moods.

Therefore, in general, the more happiness is pursued, the more disappointed a person may become. What is happy enough? It’s probably better to simply accept the level of happiness one has.

The place where we live

Most of us live in the territory between our dreams and fears.

These lightnesses are understood as a series of possibilities. That is, visions of ideal or perfect conditions generally adjust to practical concerns. Occasionally, we compare ourselves to what society expects of a person of our “type” or circumstance.

Some among us have big dreams and are upset until they achieve those goals. But others are content with what we have had up to this point.

Concluding fo the moment

Because our emotions have sensations of movement and the pursuit of placement, unhappiness implies the double sense of moving away from idealized conditions. Feelings of loss and disapproval combine.

Unhappiness is the destiny of those who do not reconcile themselves with that determination. It’s not that they imagined such basic commitments to be easy to discover or maintain, as the forces of modernity always urge outward. It is important to note that modern people are not content. There are always new norms to fulfill. Each one is urged to move forward, but it is not known if they have already reached their destination or if that endpoint is years ahead.
