I often feel bad because a lucky event got me to travel to incredible places I never would've, all expenses paid (hong kong, singapore, cayman, mexico) and is now over. Now, why not feel happy/grateful instead? What's the principled way to choose between them? Is there one?

maybe. i guess what i was saying is something like 'i used to default be sad now i seemingly default be grateful, wtf happened? whence the change? is there a reasonable way to see things that isn't just an emotional it-is-what-it-is?'

Changing the frame changes the meaning and changing the meaning inspires different emotions. If meanings did not change like this @Meaningness would be out of a job. I guess your frame has shifted?

yea.. but whence? need to do belief archeology

You’ve been furiously changing all your frames on turbo mode for like 5 years lol

it's so good to know someone is paying attention to your intellectual development
