I'm not suggesting that everything is good. I wouldn't be glad, for example, if a friend slit his wrists. A good friend did kill himself a few years back, though, so I can relate to that situation.
The point, which I may not have explained well, is that there are so many overwhelmingly great things happening in life (and even just having life), that there's no reason not to be consistently happy.
I'm not going to pretend that if a close friend or family member was killed that I'd be happy about it, but I would probably get over it quickly and focus on the happy memories I had with that person. After all, that's what I'd want if I died.
Thanks for reading and posting a comment!
