Do people recognise they have experienced catharsis when watching a sad movie?

Is that something you need to be consciously aware of?

Wouldn't you be aware of why you choose to do anything at all, including watching a sad movie?

Isn't it better just to be happy and not worry?

Is it possible to be happy all the time?

Would it be good to be happy without any other emotions?

Would not our happiness be greater if we were sad before?

Would we know that if we never experienced sadness?

Would happiness even be happiness if there was no sadness to offer contrast?

Without a way to test it, how would we ever know?

Could we infer it from a logical standpoint?

Isn't there a point where emotions triumph over logic?

Why can't emotions and logic work together?

Maybe your personality type has something to do with it?

So, you think it's different for different kinds of people?
