I think it’s a matter of attitude, let’s analyze : Two people go for a walk to the same place, upon returning one says I felt happy there, everything was so beautiful, I observed every detail and enjoyed every moment, while the other person says, I will NOT go back to that place, I didn’t have fun at all, if I saw something good it wasn’t much… And both went to the same place.
Life and the world are full of circumstances, it is we with our attitude who give them meaning
Your example is good but such a pity there's no reason given. The same is noticed in relationships and for sure there's ar reason why one has fun while the other feels abused or used or is bored to death
