Interesting... but- I think this way:
You say that the first unhappiness is the pain of the body. No there is only one unhappiness and it comes from the mind - because the pain from the body is transfered through the nerves to the brain - and the brain is the objective mind.
When the brain gets the signal from the nerves that the body has pain - the mind starts to think (either positively or negative) and those thought images from the objective mind are sent to the subjective (subconscious mind).
And if the thought images were with negative character then the subconscious mind radiates negative energy throughout the whole body - AND thats HOW UNHAPPINESS is created.
!!I think that only one unhappiness can exist -
Example: If you are under anesthesia then you are not conscious and you cannot feel pain - and you are not aware of the pain - the unhappiness- is only when you are aware that exists, and if you have negative thoughts about the pain you are experiencing then you make the situation worse.
