Where Is Joy?

                                 The world will not function if there is no peace, where do we get peace? It is joy that gives us peace. Joy gives us trust in life. It plays a very significant role in human life. Joy is omni-present. But, it stays very short. It comes and goes, never, is static. Its visit bestows us with love and hope. Its departure leaves us with hatred and despair. Joy is mysterious for which it is being cherished all the time. It has no ceiling, it might sometime overwhelms you with happiness and sometime overpowers you with smugness. Joy can be derived from simple things like the day rise with a bright shine, splatter of the morning dew, refreshing smell of the damp earth, stretching down in the moist grass, dipping your little finger in the icy-cold water, hot morning shower, poking nose in the blooming flower, a gentle breeze, kissing drizzles, soothing weather, marvelous view of moonlight  and so on. How comforting and rejoicing our nature is. You and I have to learn to enjoy our life with simple things, which we always fail to do. Why should we bewail for the slightest issues, why to mourn for petty things? put an end to such lamentations. We shall hereafter be elated and cherish the world.
                              The source of happiness is not only admiring nature with aesthetic sense but also we obtain it from our fellow human beings. Such as loving pat from the father, gentle kiss from the mother, an affectionate gaze from the sister, a passionate hug from the beloved, harmless taunt from the friends, a simple reward from the teacher, a casual smile from the neighbors, a short conversation with the strangers, from the child's innocent laughter and so many to jot down. We get delighted via people i.e., mankind. So, why should we loathe one another, why should we hurt our fellow being? cease it. Let us have a new start to our lives.
                            Okay, now, where is Joy? Is that present only in nature or in mankind. I would like to tell you that joy emerges from our deeds too. We get bliss from our victory, from fantasizing (I do most of the times), from visiting a favorite place, from luscious foods, from desired things, from listening songs, watching movies, going to theater, shopping with friends, etc... To our amazement, Joy is experienced in pain, in sadness, in failure, in discouragement, in rejection, in suppression, in humiliations  too. Don't search for joy, don't innovate methods to obtain joy, if you do so, it's a sheer foolishness because joy is very well available, it is universal, only thing you have to believe and feel it with whole-heart. Embrace the beloved, there you have joy. Express the true nature that you hold, there you have joy. As we know, 'Life is ironic, it takes noise to appreciate silence, absence to value presence and sadness to know what is happiness'. I strongly believe that experiencing the depths of great grief is the way to experience the greater joy.  Finally, the thought of being loved by God is the greatest joy.
 "God has 4 gifts for you:    •  A solution for every problem
                                             •  A light for every darkness
                                             •  A Plan for every tomorrow                                                                                                                    •  A Joy for every sorrow"

 After winter comes the spring, likewise after sadness comes Joy. So leave the sorrows, let us swim in the pool of ecstasy. Live happily, let others, live happily.
