JOY > HAPPINESS > PLEASURE.
IAM THANKFUL TO SABU ACHAN WHO INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS. HE SAID TO US : JOY IS MORE THAN HAPPINESS, JUST AS HAPPINESS IS MORE THAN PLEASURE. THAT WAS A THOUGHT WHICH INPIRED ME A LOT. EVERYONE WANTS PLEASURE. PLEASURE IS IN OUR BODY. MORE DEEPLY EVERYONE NEEDS HAPPINESS. IT IS IN OUR MIND. THE WAY TO HAPPINESS IS MORAL GOODNESS. BUT MOST DEEPLY EVERYONE WANTS JOY. IT IS DEEP IN OUR HEART. WHEN WE LOVE GOD WITH OUR WHOLE HEART, WHEN WE DO GOOD THINGS TO OUR FELLOW BEINGS, WHEN WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBOURS AS OURSELF WE ARE FEELING JOY OF OUR HEART.
"No man can live without joy. That is why one deprived of spiritual joy goes over to carnal pleasures.
-Thomas Aquinas
THESE ARE EMOTIONS WHERE A PERSON HAS FEELINGS OF CONTENTMENT OR SATISFACTION. THE MOST RELEVANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAPPINESS AND JOY IS THAT HAPPINESS IS SOLID AND JOY IS LIQUID. JOY IS A FEELING WHICH IS LONGLASTING. IT IS THE LEVEL OF SATISFACTION OF OUR INNER MIND. OUR SOUL GET SATISFIED ONLY WITH JOY.
" Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, where as joy arises from within. - ECKHART TOLLE
