Usage examples (32)
  • The feeling which I call joy may feel just like the one which you call despair.
  • This kind of joy is reserved for special occasions, like the birth of your first child.
  • Smiles, laughter, flowers … these people are being captured on the happiest day of their lives, and their joy is absolutely infectious.
  • If what you call "joy" is fleeting, conditional, or does harm to yourself or others in the process of attaining it, it probably isn't joy.
