Joy, the intense and especially ecstatic or exultant feeling of pure happiness like that of a freshly squeezed orange. It is this which ascends us from our knees and separates us from its antonym, depression. Cherishing this simple emotion cures us, even if it is only temporary, from other anxieties and problems which life has to offer such as school, work, people, and even ourselves. What is joy worth if it is only temporary? Joy is like water. You need it to live once your body is vacant of it. You can’t live unhappily. You can’t live without a smile.
