What is JOY!!!
JOY!!!!
What comes in your mind when you hear this three letter word? Frankly speaking, when I thinks about joy, I wonders that from where a person can find it or get it? And I always use to search that answer whenever I get time, either I am driving a vehicle or I am just doing something or going somewhere, or anything. But I never found that answer till date. Today I am writing this non-technical post to share my personal experience regarding joy. So, what is joy? To smile? To laugh? To have time with your favorite person? To have long drive? To have best food made by someone special? and much more..... Many of you may be thinking that I already know these things then why I am asking to you guys?
According to me, these are not the correct answers.... Yeah, I have found many times and at many occasions that when you are in those above mentioned situations, you feels damn good, but that is not the exact joy!
"you have your personal room, attached with full air conditioner,
Do you think this is your JOY?!
you have your own mobile phone,connected to thousands of people,
Do you think this is your JOY?!
you have a big group, sharing your feelings now & then,
Do you think this is your JOY?!
you have all the expensive gadgets, making you feel rich as and when,
Do you think this is your JOY?!"
NO! NO! my dear readers. Let me give you my real life instances which you might already know but have lost this sight now a days, either because of this virtual world or being so busy in your schedule that you,yourself forgot to analyze your own JOY!
Joy can be defined in many ways as it is a very subjective term. It changes from person to person. It even changes from situation to situation. For me, joy means something else, for you it may mean something else. Today I want to share my personal experience that where I found joy. I was somewhat worried about so many things, some days back, millions of thoughts were coming in my mind, many of them were positive one, many of them were negative as well. And I was suffering from this confusion that what to do or what not since a long period (almost a month). Then one day, I was just going somewhere and was waiting at traffic signal to get green, one school bus crosses the road and it was almost full of small kids, one of them just looked at me and waved her hand and smiled at me and said "bye-bye!!". Yeah, I know you guys will be thinking that it is a common as small kids used to do such things, but at that time it wasn't normal for me. I smiled all of sudden even after having so many thoughts in my mind and also somewhat tensed. When I saw that girl smiling at me and I too responded her by smiling and waving my hands by saying bye, then I came home and thought of that girl that we both don't know each other still we smiled and created "JOY" there. yeah, that was the feeling for joy for me at that time.
Second incident I can share is, 2-3 days back I went for shopping with my mom, there I saw a boy of age 7-8yrs selling key-chains and asking me to buy it as he was hungry and wants to eat and he will be only when I buy something from him. I took him to one shop and made him eat something without buying anything from him. the smile from his face after eating food made me feel joyful. So, coming to the main point, What is joy? whenever you do something selflessly for someone who is not known by you and that deed done by you makes that person smile means joy for you. You will feel that joy from inside that how much happy that person is by doing very little thing from your side. His/her smile will make you smile more.
According me, a person should not find joy. I was doing the same mistake since I became mature enough to understand the feelings. Joy is in looking a father taking care of his kid. joy is looking a mother to worry about her son/daughter. joy is looking a grand parents taking their grandson/grand-daughter to park for playing of shopping. Joy is looking to them who does something for us like Soldiers, who protects a country, teachers, who teaches children to build a nation, joy is looking at birds flying in the sky while morning and evening by sitting riverside. Joy is looking a huge smile by surprising your beloved ones. Joy is everywhere, as well as tension and worry is also everywhere. But what makes a person joyful, who finds joy or happiness in everything.
For me joy is filling up colors in a picture, joy is cycling on a silent road, joy is looking at some small things which is not that much important but still has a huge importance in itself. So, never try to find out joy outside of your surrounding. Even if you are not getting any joyous things then just help someone in any way who is unknown to you. I guarantee you that it will give you an eternal joy from inside. And by doing so, we will be building a society where a person is ready to help someone who is unknown.
Find your own joy apart from this virtual world. In fact, find yourself! Find what makes you joyful.
Do share your such instances where you find yourself in the middle of such a great smile, happiness & JOY!!!
Thank you for your time.
