There is joy greater than you and perhaps your heart is smaller than the great joys. It is not used to harbor such a joyful state. Too claim that you do not have the knowledge of the loud joy. You do not have the ability to return it to quiet joy. Fierce joy that confiscates all sorrows. It is confusing to be without sadness. Confusing. For sadness to become strange in you, it takes on the features of minorities, for joy to be severe, tyranny like the rule of the majority, painful for joy to oppress sadness and put it in the position of a weak man.
Joy is a dictator. It is a feeling that is not mixed with other situations, and it has no temptations other than to be in your highest state of happiness. Not like sadness, which allows for coexistence with grief, sadness, and misfortune. Joy wears you, but you wear sadness. Sadness has a space, so you can take whatever you desire. As for joy, it takes you. And he dyes your condition on what he desires. Joy does not come hidden. He exposes you, because it is not like the sadness that disappears and inhabits you. You feel that he is familiar with you. You feel that it will live for a long time. As for joy, it gives you the feeling of loss. It comes like sweeping waves that drown you and then departed. Reduces to its pleasure. Joy is not a good citizen. It comes with miserliness, abuse. It does not leave a trace. It does not leave smelling. Glory of joy in its moment. Not like sadness that its effects remain. You can bounce saddness. But you cannot return for joy. Joy selfishly articulated. Nobody shares your joy. But sadness accepts consolation. You can share the sadness with the other. Joy does not accept that. Joy is a binary industry. But sadness alone can and effortlessly be sad. Just let your memory fall apart and you will enter a state of sadness without effort.
Joy can see well. He has the ability to choose hearts. Sadness is blind, so it hits all hearts. Sadness is ambiguous. But joy is a pure state. It always comes in a state of certainty.
