Reminder:
If you get exhausted and burn out and give up, you lose. If you stay in, you win. Just by existing, you win!
So taking little breaks for joy is fine! Good actually!
Helping other people find joy, gives you joy too! Joy is not conserved! The laws of thermodynamics have nothing to say about joy!
@mekkaokereke English pulled in "schadenfreude" as soon as that option was on the table, but left "mudita"? - literally "vicarious happiness", taking happiness from the happiness of others - just sitting there barely used? Come on, anglos, there's a word for this! You can use it, that's allowed!
Mudita: Muditā is a dharmic concept of joy, particularly an especially sympathetic or vicarious joy—the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being.
I most definitely plan to use this new-to-me term.
Furthering the OPs point: the enemies of mudita and joy are jealousy, envy, and greed - the core values of exploitative capitalism. Joy, especially mudita, is a radical and counter-cultural practice.
@DavidM_yeg @mhoye @mekkaokereke great! A word for the opposite of Schadenfreude: Mudita. Taking pleasure in someone else's pleasure!
Thanks!!
