Can People Feel Happy and Sad at the Same Time?

Just as black is the opposite of white, happiness seems to be the opposite of sadness.

The two emotions differ in almost every respect.

Those who are satisfied with their current state typically feel happy;

those who are dissatisfied feel sad.

Those who get what they want feel happy;

those who do not feel sad.
When people are happy they generally smile, laugh, and seek out others;

when they are sad they frown, cry, and withdraw from others.

"If you're sad and you know it, cry a tear," and
"If you're happy and you know it, wave your arms"
