Happiness & Joy

We’re happy when we’re not sad,
But we’re joyful even when we’re sad.

For happiness depends on circumstances,
But joy is always full in abundance,

Though happiness is sentiment reaction,
Joy is an option.

Paradoxical, it is not.

Joy is not real.

Happiness is real... how do we find it ? how do we define it ?

Some through religions, some through other means.

My happiness is defined as being sincere and truthful to people. Even if it backfires, it is alright.

tho things are not going very well in my life right now, i consider it joy that God gave me a chance to see what's going on in certain places and to determine whether it's a good place for me to be at o not.

sometimes it's hard to be joyful in difficult circumstances... once again, not by my might, nor by my power, but by His Spirit.
