oh, upon closer inspection it's a definite NO - not only did she abandon Sadness she outright tells Sadness that Riley can live without her - that's like telling one of your friends that they are worthless and no one needs them, a pure of heart never goes this far.. this is one of the main factors that prevented people like Twilight Sparkles from qualifying, because while good people they are far too self-centered and hurt their friends in the process.

Apologizing for this is a step up but it still doesn't erase the fact that it was done and it was not done in an altered state (like being drunk or insane) - she knew fine well what she was doing.

plus the whole point of the story seemed to be that we need all emotions to function, which means Joy and all the other emotions are flawed and need to work together to be a proper society.
