It's as if there's a separate higher state of being one can be in that's not happiness, sadness or anger. It's something akin to being content. But more like, a thing inside you saying "I am ok with being happy when it happens, I am ok with being sad when it happens and I am ok with getting a grey sometimes." It's the acknowledgment that you will feel different emotions throughout your life and you are ready to take them on and grow from them. Sadness or anger aren't bad. They serve a purpose.
