What is the difference between joy and happiness? They seem to mean the same thing right? Well, out of curiosity, I decided to look up the true, unbiased definition of each.
Joy: -noun, the emotion of great delight or happiness; keen pleasure; elation.
Happiness: -noun, good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy
So, whats the difference? To me, joy seems to be a greater form of happiness. Whenever I think of joy, even when I was a child, I always thought of it to be a more everlasting sincere form of happiness. This has been on my mind lately and I thought I would share it. Do you feel a difference in Joy and happiness or is it all the same to you? There really is no main point of this post except to express my ideas or well...thoughts. I would love to consider myself an overall joyful person, but I can't. I have my days where life makes me just want to crawl in a hole and hide. So I guess I could describe myself as a happy person. I don't know. Food for thought.
Much love,
