When the hearts of believers are pure before the Lord, there is no incongruence between some being glad and others among them, sad.
The Apostle Paul showed the Church the best way to live in such an environment of varying demeanors:
Romans 12:15 (NKJV)
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
With this mindset, no one need feel inhibited about expressing themselves, nor should they feel shame when observing the opposite reaction. Understanding and caring is what matters.
