The Importance of Positive Emotions in Life

When we force ourselves to stay positive at all times, we deny the existence of our life's problems. Good values are one, reality-based, two, socially constructive, and three, immediate and controllable. Bad values are social destructive or superstitious about prioritising your own happiness over that of others. Honesty is a good value because it's something you have complete control over,. It benefits others, even if it's sometimes unpleasant. Popularity, on the other hand, is a bad value. Something like creativity can be experienced right now by orienting your mind in a certain way - rather than how you wish it were. You'll notice that healthy values are achieved internally.
