The so-called neutral feelings

I’ve always thought that we, human, have 3 different states of mind: happy, neutral, and unhappy

Until mindfulness teaches me a new perspective

That is, having nothing to be unhappy about is actually a state of happiness.

Lemme give you an example.

My mom’s arms have been hurt lately, so much that she couldn’t raise them.

I feel unhappy about it — because she’s in pain, and I could do nothing but watching her through the phone when we video call.
