It was no real good value being perceived in my life at all. My life was still empty. It was like I was missing a higher component (the inner light) to truly make my life and atmosphere beautiful and good. So, how would we accommodate this? I have, in fact, had such miserable moments happen to me. Many of them, as a matter of fact. I have thought that making decisions was something good and beautiful, but my life was still completely empty. It was still the worst life.
What you have said is correct but not relevant.
My point is that if positive emotions are intrinsically good then when you are at your most miserable times in your life your aim is to get maximum positive emotion. And it need not be many positive emotions. And not even for a long time. Because you have no criterion to decide if multiple moderate positive emotions over a long time is better than just one extremely positive emotion for a few moments.
But, by this, you are saying that my life was still good and beautiful since I have made a decision where I have decided that it was better for me to get the help I needed rather than to just give up on life entirely. This wouldn't be any real good and beauty in my life.
