The joyfulness

Joy is an emotion, a feeling of satisfaction or pleasure, that an individual experiences at the moment one of their aspirations or desires comes to be satisfied in a real or imaginary way, or sometimes, for no apparent reason. It is often taken as a synonym for happiness or pleasure.

​Philosophy

​Joy is a notion that designates, in its most common sense, the intense feeling of a person in the presence of another person, a situation, a spiritual good, or a piece of knowledge, which delights them.

​Feeling and Emotion

​A feeling is an emotion linked to a thought. Feelings are reactions that human beings experience in response to events or situations.

Emotion is a sudden, temporary, and involuntary affective reaction, often accompanied by physical manifestations, caused by an intense feeling of fear, anger, surprise, admiration, or disappointment.

​Real and Imaginary Joy

​We speak of real joy just as we can also speak of "True Joy." It is a feeling of well-being felt deep within oneself, sometimes comparable to an ecstasy that one manages to achieve through the acceptance, the realization of a dream, a goal, or something else.

Imaginary joy is a joy created by the mind, by thought, sometimes with the aim of escaping thoughts or problems of everyday life. But it can also be generated by the visualization of a desire, a craving for a future that one conceives in the mind.
