Joy? Joy is when one day you understand
that your life isn't worthless; that you
have something or someone to live for.
Maybe that someone is yourself-
maybe it's someone else.
But your life is worth living.

Joy to me? I take joy in knowing there are
still truly honest, moral, descent people in
the world and that I have had the chance to

Answer 2

Joy is a feeling within. If you are happy then you will show that happy emotion on your face. When you have joy then you have joy in your heart meaning happy on the inside. Joy lasts longer the happiness as happy is for the moment & Joy sticks with you.

Answer 3

Joy is a state of MIND. When things go our way, we experience this emotion , but when they go against us...it's the reverse. There are countless occassions for such a feeling but in my opinion the BIGGEST and the BEST Joy is when a baby is born. No matter how harsh a person is, the moment he/she see's a new life that has been brought up in this world, he too to softens.

Answer 4

karma


As I go through life, fixing my mistakes one at a time, I’ve learned a thing or two about Karma, and part of keeping good Karma is sharing it with others. I hope these notions help you as much as they’ve helped me.
Do good things and good things will happen to you. Do bad things and it will come back and bite you in the ***.

If you want a better life, you need to be a better person.

Bad luck might be contagious. It wouldn’t be fair to bring someone into your life until you clean yours up.

Never underestimate the power of confidence. And never underestimate fifteen beers, a little enlightenment, and the power of Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock.

A person needs a little rest after having his moustache tickled at a gay bar.

You have to do the hard things in life sooner or later.

If you want the reward, you have to do the work.

The secret to life is fixing all the bad things that you’ve done.

Whether picking up trash, returning stolen merchandise, or helping a homosexual find love, it always has the same reward… feeling good about yourself.

Karma. You got to love it.
