One thing I love about being on The #Fedi is the many opportunities to find sympathetic joy with other folks.
In my flavor of #Buddhism, it's part of the dedication of merit that we say at the end of each meditation session.
One of the dedications is basically the four wishes of #Metta practice, kinda gussied up with more words. Here those are:
May you be safe.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be at ease.
There are the basics, whittled down to about as few words as possible.
In the dedication we use, the one about sympathetic joy goes something like this:
"May all beings experience joy in the happiness of other beings."
There are so many fun opportunities to do that with pals and even with complete strangers here.
To me, it seems it's almost always accepted for what it is, rather than perceived as a societal sort of performance, jealousy, or even sarcasm.
I love it!
I can actually express joy and appreciation to folks for their stories, puns, discoveries, food, travels, books, photos, gardens, cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, bugs, you name it, and it's actually taken as joy and appreciation.
That helps spread joy and appreciation, and wow, does the world need more of that.
Even though both of those things are limitless, we tend to forget that and try to hoard them as if they are in short supply. (Consumer culture forces us to believe in the scarcity mindset, too.)
Thanks, everyone, for being so awesome.

It is said that the great Silla-era monk Wonhyo was traveling to Tang China to study there when he spent a night in a tomb. In the night he woke thirsty and drank water from a bowl. In the morning he realized the drink that had so refreshed him in the night was dirty water in a skull, which enlightened him to the truth that all things are created by the mind. This led him to give up on the idea of going to China for his studies. He continued his theological work back in Silla, where he popularized #Buddhism among the common folk.
