@JLNobody,
Thanks JLN, Happy New Year!
Being an agnostic I can still appreciate what you have to say regarding spirituality and the perception of ourselves versus a higher power in the cosmos.
Sometimes I feel like I am neither here nor there.
Happiness is relative to our living situation and can fluctuate while joy transcends tribulation and elevates the spirit to a higher place...
Happiness is external while joy is internal.
Happiness may fade while joy sustains.
