(In English: Other languages may be more -or less- nuanced):
States of Being:
On Misery-Bliss scale (Negative, Neutral, Positive)
Physical- Mental
Negative/Suffering (3 levels)
1.Agony Torment
2.Pain Anguish/Misery
Hopelessness/Despair
3.Discomfort Malaise/Unease/Discontent
Neutral/Lack of Suffering (Neither Suffering nor Joy)
4.Health + Simply Being (IS a Positive; 6 levels)
Positive/Happiness or Pleasure
5.Comfort Satisfaction
6.Happiness.......Define for yourself *
7. Joy, Laughter
8.Ecstasy Bliss
9. Nirvana
*I define happiness a lack of suffering, which means health, wellness, PLUS any of the following: sensual pleasure/hedonism (sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touch; e.g. good meals, good music, good sex, a good book, a comfortable chair, a massage, sounds of laughter or nature, warmth of sun by pool, good music or conversation, a fun movie), a feeling of peace tranquility and calm, a feeling of job well done/accomplishment, helping others, fitness endorphins, and learning (especially to questions I've previously had).
