Happiness is one of the greatest values of people. Joy is something that keeps the light of life in us and helps us to get up every day and to go to work, to communicate with people, to cook and to sleep. It is difficult to take everything with joy and happiness. The modern world doesn’t allow people to keep good and positive view on the world. And there are only a few people who really take everything as positive events and things. And such people are called optimists.
Joy VS Sadness
Every person likes to be happy and wants to be happy. In fact people live because they hope to become happy one day. And such expectative of joy and happiness is usually accompanied with a great number of troubles and problems that bring sadness.
According to researches there are only a few people who say that they are really happy. Other people not only consider themselves to be unhappy but also depressed. And the number of sad people increased for the last several years. And nowadays walking in the streets you almost won't be able to meet smiling people; their faces are gloomy and preoccupied.
Sadness and joy are antonyms. It may seem strange but it is also possible to be happy being sad. It sounds like nonsense. But in reality t is so. Sometimes people feel sweet sadness. It is the melancholy that we feel, or it may be the feeling of missing family, motherland, etc.
The problem is that people forget that it is possible to be happy seeing ordinary things that surround us. Seeing your colleague working is joy. Observing children play is also joy. Watching the cat playing is also joy. So be happy and don't worry.
