      Because you're clearly a good person. You aren't jealous of someone else's happiness. You are instead happy to see someone else smile.

    I wish I could be as happy as you. I've had depression and anxiety every day of my life, and although I can appreciate things, and have the whole range of emotions, they have always been stunted and behind a cloud. I've never experienced a moment of elation, or pure joy. It's all pretty flat. You seem very pure of heart and in touch with who you are. I got to experience an approximation of joy through the smile on your face vicariously. Thank you.
