Happiness Or Joy Mean To You...

only in degrees I think visavis havce not seen you arou nd lately. happy is a moderate degree of Joy b ut if I won the Publishers Clearing HOuse sweepstakes I would be hap py and over jopyed both as that money wo uld help me out of a sticky wicket of licving here where I really do not much like it.

What most people desire is happiness and not joy. Joy resolves your problem for a shorter period of life may be just a moment. Like while playing games, you en-joy your game. You score you en-joy. You join with a community to en-joy that feeling with others. That gives you a feeling of pleasure for a moment. What happiness means is a prolonged effect. Well human desire happiness, Rich wants love to be part of their life so they donate their goods which give love from their people, and that love stays for long, even if you die. A middle class citizen wants to pursue happiness with his hard effort, have a happy family life which is still prolonged. And finally a poor wants to have bread, shelter and clothes as their happiness which are still prolonged.

I don't know how to explain the difference between these two but if you want me to choose between joy and happiness I would prefer joy as it is long lasting. These happy and joy are both positive emotions so if we could have both that would be awesome!Overall let us be happy and joy with the life~(^^)

Both words translated in my language mean different things. The word "joy" translated means something you feel in one single moment or one single day, you feel great, full of pleasure, satisfied, pleased. It's the moment like when you had luck about something you wanted for a very long time and you have it already - this is a moment for you to feel joy. Happiness is another thing. Happy in our language means that you are having all done the way you wanted it and you feel good because of it. General things in your life are fixed or go well and it's all so great about you that you feel only positive emotions. For me there is difference between both things. Being full of joy because of a great moment in your life doesn't mean that all of your life is going in the direction you wanted it to go. You might feel a great joy now, when you see a small decorative, very nice, kind and sweet puppy, but when the moment pass and when you move on with your daily stuff and you see that nothing goes well, how can you be happy?

Joy- An unexpected jolt of happiness in ones life. Happiness- Deep and warm, filling every pour of your existence.
