  1. No. anticipation is always a more positive emotion. Missing something is sad, because it's in the past, and you can only think about it, and not experience it again.

  2. note that he says "Having something to miss". To me this means that you have the object tangible or not. So, when it's not around, you miss it i.e. your fancy new honda is in the shop. You miss it but you'll get it back soon. Vs. your fancy new honda is totaled. You anticipate a new honda. Which is better? For me it's the honda in the shop.

  3. ok good point. permanence can't be derived from the question. If i'm missing something that i CAN get back, thats a lot better.

  6. id prefer to look forward to things than miss them.

    missing someone really sucks... but then again..
    disappointment after lots of anticipation sucks too.

  8. I agree with Madbull, it's all about the circumstances.

    I miss my days spent under the tree at STAHS. But I miss them in a fond way, and I always have the memories. As opposed to missing someone who has died. Both are things that you'll never see/experience again, but they evoke two different emotions.

  10. I never usually answer my own questions but in this case after much thought I've come to the resolve that looking forward to something new is much more interesting. And that having something to miss really only makes you wallow.
