Joy cannot be confused with the mere absence sorrow, misinterpreted as experiencing minimal despair, or misunderstood as living without crippling trepidation. Bliss necessarily encompasses uncompromising acceptance of life__ defining permutations. Emotional harmony necessitates beholding the pleasant and unpleasant exigencies of life while expressing unstinting appreciation for the ordinary and the extraordinary events in our lives. Joyfulness transcends the variations in physical and emotional demands exerted upon us. Elation for life allows us to rise above environmental determinates and associated stresses that might otherwise vex our souls including death and other sorrowful events.

Often person X can only find happiness when they feel that person Y can see how happy they are... This is the lowest level of happiness - what I call the tyranny of happiness. I like how Brian Miller draws a contrast between the tyranny of happiness and true joy.__nlike [the tyranny of] happiness, joy is never in our power. It__ not something we can make or choose for ourselves. Instead it__ the sensation that Lewis says jumps under one__ ribs, tickles down one__ back, makes one forget meals and keeps one delighted. It__ an enormous comfort, under all this pressure to be happy, to remember that you don__ have to be in control. You can instead be surprised by joy. _ B. Miller
