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.
