Sometimes a negative mindset causes you to think logically in serious situations. An example of this is you, as an example, get shot. Thinking positivly would be unneccesary in that situation because survival is the main goal and looking at what good things are happening like not dying in that instant is unproductive. A better midset would be a negative one because you instantly  point out what all went wrong and think about the most negaive thing that being shot has affected you. Being negative causes you to understand what is worse in the situation so that you can prepare to how to fix it. Your mindset should be a blend of positive and negative because you have to enjoy and make situations good but in situations that are more serious, negative is also needed. Christian

No one can be happy all the time. However, at times we can put it on ourselves to appear happy at all times as to not worry those around us.

It gives them more of an understanding with what is important as well as the lessons that people learn in life. 1599016 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746262839 2021-09-16 15:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746262839 I agree with Judith, it's kind of what we talked about with the celebrity and the impoverished family of four 120714 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746265547 2021-09-16 15:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746265547 I think that society has a lot to deal with how you view things happening in the world because everyone does have there own opinion and good reasons to back it up but it also has a lot do with your own personal beliefs on how you view a situation but society as a whole also does affect your view on things because of how they react 1200819 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746265826 2021-09-16 15:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746265826 Landon09 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746270349 I definitely feel that people want what they dont have. I completely agree with that idea. People that have had many experiences good and or bad and have had a psychologically rich life may just want a happy life. Because even though they have experienced so much in their life they dont exactly feel fulfilled and happy. Yet someone who is deemed more privliged and has a more happy peacful life may often feel that they have not experienced life to the fullest by living in a peacful consisten life.]]> 2021-09-16 15:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746270349 People in under developed countries know how hard things can get and they learn to appreciate the little things more but they will also crave for a bigger and better lifestyle so they can experience the world 1200819 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746271667 2021-09-16 15:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746271667 120014 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746272831 I agree with Will when he mentioned that "people want what they don't have". Even if we are very privileged, there is always going to be someone who has more than us. Instead of feeling happy with what we do have, the idea of what we don't have overpowers that happiness. Jealousy is often a common emotion we feel as humans, and people are always striving to own the biggest or best things. In a way, it is more to make themselves look good for others in society rather than actually wanting the object for themselves.]]> 2021-09-16 15:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746272831 In the text, it says, "Westgate says she doesn’t know why people in certain countries were more or less into the idea of pursuing psychological richness," which I didn't necessarily understand because I think that the cultures surrounding countries and the opportunities given to them contribute to what they idolize in their life. 2981116 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746273178 2021-09-16 15:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746273178 1242210 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746273687 I agree with the mention of the difference in opportunities among different people. We really focused on talking about how we can take our opportunities and use them to make us happier and live a "good" life. I think it's important to consider the difference in opportunities for psychologically enriching experiences for different people, however I also agree that it's not restricted to the amount of money one person has. There will still always be an ample amount of opportunities in everyone's life respectively, those opportunities and experiences will just be different for each person, and sometimes will come slower or quicker as well. Ultimately there is a difference in how those experiences will come up and affect each person's lives, however, the way in which they affect the lives of those they happen in is up to the person themselves and how they view the experience.]]> 2021-09-16 15:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746273687 I think that while money is the gateway to a psychologically rich life both the rich and the poor can have a rich, full life of emotional wellbeing and psychologically richness. 120714 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746273980 2021-09-16 15:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746273980 Also, adding onto what kate said about the different people with the differing perspectives on religion, I feel like through different psychological thoughts people perceive different events differently. People believing in God for example might think that the people came to save him are from god, but the atheist was probably expecting some sort of mirical. (sorry i dont know how to spell it). But listening to other peoples perspective on events and with their differeing religious point of view, you are able to learn different peoples train of thought. I feel like this allows people to be less inclined to judge people for their belifes now that they heard and listened to their reasoning behind their thought process. 1233023 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746276576 2021-09-16 15:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746276576 sorry that was kinda outta topic but it took a hot minute for me to write that 1233023 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746277465 2021-09-16 15:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746277465 2981116 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746282834 Just like how we talked about in ours, I think that you can't please everyone, and that is okay, but its about changing that mindset about using conversation and debate as an opportunity to learn instead of change. ]]> 2021-09-16 15:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746282834 With what Isabella said, I think people have a set belief and view of what different stereotypes, like country and city people, believe and that if they don't believe what every other person does in that group then they don't belong there and they are considered a bad person 1200819 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746282899 2021-09-16 15:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746282899 the comment about lying I agree heavily with and I think that a lot of people do, I would lie if I think that it would make a person feel more confident or have a better social standing. At the same time however it's not my place to decide whether they would do well with or without this information. 120714 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746282979 2021-09-16 15:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746282979 I think that society does give us challenges to face that can contradict what we are told to believe which aarman stated such as treating people how you want to be treated, but people still are not always nice to each other. This can definitely reflect how some people treat other people and that you don't always need to be right and can agree to disagree. This is because people are not always going to agree with each other as we are unique and different people and have different lives and situations which shows how we were raised and out beliefs, which is why societies standards does not always fit everyone. 1599016 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746286517 2021-09-16 15:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746286517 Also with what Charlotte and Isabella said. People expect everyone to agree with them, and everyone should pertain to your standards, and act like you, and all in all, everything and everyone should be revolved around you, like how this is water was saying. But if this happened then everyone would be, like Isabella said, like robots, all having the same personality and there would be no room for psychological richness as there is no way to experience new things. 1233023 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746286900 2021-09-16 15:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746286900 2981116 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746291057 I believe that living for happiness can help lead to a more psychologically rich life, but you do need to experience negatives. I dont think that being happy blocks you from having a psychologically rich life, so I dont necessarily agree with what they are saying right now.]]> 2021-09-16 15:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746291057 I agree they even talk about that in the article about the psychologically rich life 1233023 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746293243 2021-09-16 15:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746293243 I agree with you riley that people do need to experience the negatives in order to appreciate the positives and to extend your mindset and how you view different topics in life. 1599016 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746293784 2021-09-16 15:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746293784 I agree with what they just said, if you never experienced hardship or greif, nothing would be happy to you because nothing would be upsetting. 1233023 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746296616 2021-09-16 15:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746296616 a psychologically rich life is made when you start butting heads with other people. A great example is religion back in the day wars were started over just religion, currently the same is happening but there is more tolerance and less wars using religion as a reason. (sorry that this is off topic it took me a while to come up with) 120714 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746298200 2021-09-16 15:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746298200 Living a normal life does not mean you are living a physiologically rich life, if you can't truly embrace the person you are you won't get to know the life you could have experience but in society today and how people view the LGBTQ community it makes people more terrified to come out because these people don't want to be scared everytime they leave their house. These people would rather feel safe and secure then fully being themselves because of some of societys views. 1200819 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746298754 2021-09-16 15:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746298754 2981116 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746298778 The definition of happiness is completely different for every person, and I think it ties back into what we were talking about in our circle when we were talking about whether we let certain experiences affect our emotions or not. ]]> 2021-09-16 15:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746298778 I think that society does not affect how you think 100% because sure it can have an influence, but it doesn't completely guide you as you are an independent person with your own thoughts and you should believe what you want to believe. 1599016 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746305166 2021-09-16 15:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746305166 I agree with you Aaron. This is like we were talking about before when were were in the inner circle. Talking with other people and listening to their perspective. And like Riley was saying with the waffles and pancakes, listening to their perspective allows you to understand their mindset and allow you to be nicer to others and make them happier with he mindset that you understand their perspective. This will then allow you to agree to disagree rather than be hateful to each other. 1233023 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746306577 2021-09-16 15:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746306577 120014 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746306752 I agree that there are many levels of happiness. Following society's expectations can bring you some kind of happiness because it will let you live a life without opposition from others, but you cannot be fully happy with life until you live the way you want to. However, most of the time, not following society's expectations has many negative effects because people often do not support anything that is not seen as "normal". ]]> 2021-09-16 15:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746306752 I agree with Judith to an extent, I think that society shapes how you think more than people take into account.

Most of the time you will look at someone and be like oh they have all of this and that and they look so happy they have the perfect life. Or someone like that would complain and you think that they have no room to talk they have the "perfect life" but something is also going on in each persons life and it affects them negatively. And like we said before, you cannot compare your hardships to other peoples so you have to be open to what they are complaining about and not shut them down, but rather listen to them, and make them happier since they know they can talk to someone. 1233023 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746325393 2021-09-16 15:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746325393 120014 https://padlet.com/acollins11/fwf7x5qylgze5asn/wish/1746325913 I think happiness is subjective.
