What is Joy?

Where is joy?





Joy is inside you.




Not in attainment of things desired,


nor in the achievement of goals made.















So then how is it created?




You watch a small girl on the playground,



neglected by her parents, but look how her face lights





up when another child comes and says




something, then taking her hand and pulling her


to the playground.






You see, it is always there, never







truly extinguished,




like life. It is but in the simple



feeling that lies within you.













Know that this joy is unaffected







by any other circumstance,



and joy will be forever.
