How to Stop Having Problems
Suppose that you hear about something bad that happened to somebody else, but the result turns out to be really good for you -- so much so, in fact, that you are initially overjoyed and quite happy about the news. And then you think about how it was bad for the other person, and so you then feel guilty "about" being so happy.
The peculiar thing about our brains, however, is that this feeling of "being guilty about being happy" is an illusion. Really, you just feel guilty after feeling happy. When you say, "I feel guilty about being so happy", you are not actually happy any more, you're just talking about the fact that you were happy. Right now, you feel guilty instead.
And in the process, what you're doing is building an associative link between happy and guilty -- a one-way link, in fact, going straight from happy to guilty. And if you do it often enough, you will never feel happy for long, because you'll go straight from happy to guilty, even when you're happy about things that aren't actually bad for anybody else!
