The saying goes, “Good things don’t come out of the blue, but bad things spread a thousand miles,” but a new study finds that happiness is more contagious than sadness, even to people you don’t know well.
The findings found that happiness not only spreads beyond jealousy, but also beyond the triad of relationships, meaning that friends of friends of friends can also be infected. Sadness, on the other hand, is transmitted in the same way, but far less effectively in terms of breadth and speed. In addition, the spread of happiness is also “close to the water, first to the moon”, living closer to friends and neighbors can make you “feel the same blessing”, living far away from the effect is halved. The result is that more friends and more neighbors are the way to increase happiness.
