Entry TWO

A concept paper I wrote in Senior High entitled JOY. I realized while typing this that this paper is beating around the bush. Anyways here it goes.
Joy is the peace in your heart that keeps you calm in the midst of a storm. The Joy in your heart is a comforter, a helper and a friend. The storm of pain and troubles won't put you down because Joy gives you strength. He is there walking alongside you and he is happy to be there.
It isn't based on situations such as getting a brand new car, a new pair of shoes, an expensive gadget, or a brand new house. It isn't also based on success, money, power, fame or sex. It will never amount to anything. Those things will only give you a moment of bliss that will never satisfy you. It will slip from your fingertips as soon as it grazes your skin.
Instead Joy is the fleeting feeling of happiness that you can't explain but this time it lasts cause its beyond that. It doesn't mean you're crazy. It doesn't mean you're high. It only means you can keep an optimistic view of everything while the storm rages on cause deep down you know Joy is alive and active in you.
The Joy doesn't come from outside forces because those forces don't affect you. It comes from above and transcends within. Well, the above is the Heavens. The heavens gives you the Joy, giving you all you need. You will never lose peace as long as you keep it inside your heart. You'll be smiling all the days of your life.
