There are four basic definitions of unhappiness:(1) unhappiness is believing you are not free.
(2) believing you are against yourself.
(3) believing it would be wrong to have the feelings you like.
(4) the belief in the wrongness of being: that your actions or feelings or the world could be wrong.

The Seven Understandings of All Unhappiness
1. Unhappiness is the
feeling of a belief about a perceived or imagined phenomena; not an experience
caused by the phenomena or anything else.
2. Unhappiness is
experiencing your own believing that an event is bad and/or should not be
because you believe IT causes unhappiness.
3. Believing something
causes unhappiness is the very reason it seems to “cause” unhappiness.
4. Believing that
something can cause unhappiness is the only cause of the fear of it. By “fear”
is meant loathing, need to avoid, need to cure, need to kill or eliminate,
disgust, hatred, terror, horror, repulsion, disdain and all such similar
feelings.

(Fear
is not a simple desire to avoid, destroy or otherwise prevent or eliminate a
threat to your desire values. That attitude does not need to presume avoiding
unhappiness in order to justify a simple desire.)
5. Believing someone or
something is morally wrong or evil, psychologically “sick” or behaviorally
inappropriate is to fear that person or thing as if it could cause unhappiness.
6. Unhappiness is
fearing that unhappiness can “happen” or be caused by anything.
7. Unhappiness is
believing that something is necessary, something has to be, should be, ought to
be, or must be other than what it is.

Marsico, 1973
UNHAPPINESS
IS
BELEIVING
THAT
SOMETHING (even
YOU)
PROVES
YOU ARE
(makes YOU feel or be)
A
WAY
YOU
SHOULD NOT BE,
(which
is not bad for YOU*, which means makes YOU
bad,)
AND
DESERVING OF FEELING BAD.
*”Bad
for you” means YOU will have to feel
that because of what was “bad for you” YOU cannot feel the way YOU would like
to feel. It also has the meaning that YOU cannot be the way YOU are supposed to
be. ~Bruce M. Di Marsico
