What is the Meaning of Joy?
Joy is a feeling of deep happiness and contentment. It’s more than just laughing at a funny joke or smiling when something nice happens. Joy is a warm, uplifting emotion from within, no matter what’s happening around you. It’s a spark in your soul that keeps glowing, even when life gets tough.
