This question is also open to atheists.

JOY comes from a state of no-mind. That is the state of being one with GOD.
GOD is beyond the comprehension of mind. Only when our thoughts stop can we feel the presence of GOD.
Our mind is designed to puzzle us. We have many sample cases here in this forum who have succumbed to it. Only the ones who are worthy and seeking to enjoy this feeling can undertand this!

That's a good question. I believe that it begins anyway from within. I think we all have goodness in us, its just whether we choose to live by it or not. Happiness comes from seeing positive in things not always the negative, peace is learning to accept yourself and others, tranquility, from being able to let things go, joy in enjoying who and what you are, enjoying your life and the loved ones you have. Letting go of negative people and thoughts that hamper all of those things. That's all i can say..its what i have learned so far anyway..I'm sure there is much more to learn.

Love, peace, happiness etc. comes from being nice to each other. It is possible that people can be good without being religious. Just because I may not believe the same things that you believe, doesn't mean that I'm an evil person.

In my analysis of human nature, these concepts are all perspective and are different for everyone. Joy and happiness to one man may be being able to pilot a space craft, to another it might be starting a family. These concepts are totally emotion based and man made.

They are called the fruitage of the spirit. Holy Spirit. Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, mildness(tranquility), faith, self-control - (Gal. 5:22)

They come from The Great Father Spirit.

These things are FEELINGS and EMOTIONS that people experience DIFFERENTLY.
If you're implying that GOD brought these to you (and more specifically, the CHRISTIAN GOD), what about those indiginous people in the jungles who have NO CONCEPT of the xian god who clearly express all of these emotions and feelings?
Did THEIR god bring it to them?
These feelings come from brain functions (endorphines and other chemicals in the brain) when we experience a particular event.

We all are born innocent and possess these 'intangible' qualities at birth. They are not attained by any outer effort. No one can give them to you or pass them on to you in any way.
Life - those who raise us, teach us, play with us, every aspect of our experiences here on this planet - taints our thinking in many ways, sometimes quite subtlely and this affects us in every way, destroying those natural wonderful inborn qualities.

It comes from inside of each of us. Do not ever expect to receive any of those emotions from another person. You have them all inside of you. If someone does offer you, love for example, than cherish it while you have it.
