Joy is the unusual, extremely happy emotion that most of feel infrequently or not all. If we believe in and know God, at certain right moments, that experience and realization may bring us joy. If we individuate, love or do something heroic, we may feel joy.
Joy is too intense an emotion to feel for very long without wearing out, becoming jaded or just shutting down.
Perhaps, a temperate, quiet sense of satisfaction and gentle optimism is more useful, much more sustainable, more endurable.
