Yes, in theory, happiness and unhappiness can be innate. Like Zelda and Zoe in Mr.peanutbutter's TV series. Zelda is warm and caring by nature, Zoe is smart and calm, but acerbic. However, the world has always been a little more kind to Zelda, and the Zeldas never seem to understand Zoe. They always ask "Why are you doing this?" or "Why are you doing this?" And the Zoes don't get the world's forgiveness, so they can't forgive themselves. So unhappy Zoes, it is best to have a kind of self-knowledge. You can be sad by yourself. Hysterical myself. Kill yourself a thousand times in your heart. But don't disturb the happy world of others. It's best to be able to pretend to be Zelda in front of people.
So, when Bojack asked Diane why she was trying so hard to pretend to be Zelda, there were probably a lot of Zoe who put away their fake smiles in front of the screen, but felt warm in their hearts. The reason why Diane cherishes her useless friend so much is that it may be hard to find the second person in the world who tries as hard as her to pretend to be Zoe but always fails. (When Mr. Peanutbutter asked Bojack, are you Zelda or Zoe? Bojack replied, I am neither. Peanutbutter immediately added, "Said the Zoe." I really laughed out loud when I saw this paragraph.)
At this point, some people may still have to ask: "Why did they do this?"
Indeed, the whole show is like a big mental hospital, with all the staggeringly abnormal human behavior. In addition to the number one zombie Bojack, self-abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction, excessive indulgence, in order to keep his friends Todd and Sara Lynn, he used despicable means to prevent them from living a better life; Todd played games until he was kicked out of the house by his mother, like Like parasites, they stay at Bojack's house; Sara Lyn, who is addicted to drugs, defecates in public on the spot because her boyfriend broke up... Diane lied to her husband that she went to the war zone to volunteer, but hid in another place for a long time. Half a year...
Maybe the screenwriter himself felt that it was difficult to convince the audience that he was born a villain, so he slowly revealed the reason to the audience. Diane grew up living with neurotic family members. His brothers deliberately made up a pen pal to communicate with her. She believed it to be true and met with the pen pal, but his brothers later told her that the pen pal was looking for a roadside. dressed as a beggar. As for Bojack, his mother spoke ill of him, oppressed and tortured him in every possible way; and his mother did this because Bojack's grandmother suffered a mental breakdown since her brother died in the army, but her grandfather couldn't understand her at all. After consolation, accusation and evasion were ineffective, he simply asked his wife to undergo brain surgery - from the scar on her forehead, it can be speculated that it was related to the operation of the prefrontal lobe of the brain, which is the part that controls people's emotions. From then on, she stopped crying, but walked like a dead soul...
So, the screenwriter just used other bad guys to whiten the protagonist bad guys. Perhaps, he just wanted to prove that some people are born bad guys. Just like some people are born unhappy.
So, when you are desperate, exhausted, and have no strength to pretend to be calm, the existence of these people will really bring you comfort. They tell you, It's ok. It's okay to be unhappy, it's okay to be decadent, and it's okay to be crazy. Because everyone is neurotic.
So, even though Bojack went from season 1 to season 4, I still chose to forgive him like Diane, at most laughed and scolded "Dum shit! Worse than me."
