Success Happy

Do you feel happy for the happiness of others?

Of course our happiness is the most important, but seeing and knowing that others are happy can also contribute to our happiness, I think. Please prove me right or wrong. I thank you for your answer.

1. yes.this the grat thing in human being!
2. I'm happy that you're happy.
3. i personally do - but some people see it more as jealousy. so theres really no right or wrong answer to this question
4. Yes you are absolutely correct. If others are not happy, we can not remain happy. Our happiness depends on the happiness of others.
5. Yes, happiness can be infectious. I feel better if people are having a good time around me. Because, as much as we would like to deny it, our emotional state is partially dependent on our environment. We aren't the lone wolves we make ourselves out to be sometimes.
6. The happier you are, the more happiness you can give
7. Everyone else on here is a liar. Everything we think or do is to benefit ourselves. If someone says that they are "happy for someone else" the emphasis is not the other person's wellness, but rather how happy they themselves are because of it. They are just inflating their ego to show how selfless they want you to believe they are.
8. Jealous sometimes, but I endeavor to overcome that in myself because my unhappiness is just as attractive, as needful.
9. It depends who that person is.
10. Entire conversation this lead to goes as follows: A:I don't think i would be really. :/ is that mean? B:yeah! A:What! why? B:You mean, you wouldn't be happy if...you wouldn't feel good if another part of the world, like, in Africa had some huge economic boom an was just doin great. You wouldn'tfeel happy about that? Like,what's happenin' in Dubai! A: Well i mean blah blah mostly apathetic blah blah B: you should make this entire conversation your answer A: hahah tehe ok this ends now.
11. I feel very happy for the happiness of others. It gives me double happiness, and more.
12. Yeah, definitely...I'd personally rather make other people happy than make myself happy. When I see someone else smile, it makes me smile. Especially helping people out...it can give you the best feeling ever. That's why I try to make people laugh as often as possible...who doesn't feel better after a good laugh? (:
13. My reaction to others having good things is legendary. I hate it.I think rich people are evil. I think awards are for con artists. I think that praise is a set up. I am always looking for the person squatting behind me waiting for me to be pushed over them. This doesn't prove or disprove anything, it just means I am a jealous dog.
14. I love to share in others' joys and happiness. It makes me happier.
15. Right for sure. Happiness begets happiness. How can one laugh before another crying? How can one eat before another hungry? How can one feel the warmth of home in a cold winter night while others are homeless for some reason or another? How can one give one's kid some candy while another kid is starving?
