I'm not sure emotions really have an ethical valence at all. You can be happy or sad about whatever you want without it being blameworthy or praiseworthy. I don't think it's ethical to actively make things worse, though.

This. Ethics is a system of rules to follow for cya reasons. It's not much to do with personal beliefs and morality.
