1st reaction: 😯 big, if true! 2nd rxn: 🤔 Wait, but... people can also have blocks / resistance towards feeling "positive" emotional states. If someone resists kindness, or happiness, I don't think that results in them being always kind, or happy?

Kind of resonates with something in the B:CP chapter on Emotion, where he posits that subjective feeling is a combination of a particular kind of response both exists and is blocked. I've definitely sometimes experienced happiness in a sort of pressurized exuberant way.
