People around the world living in wretched conditions still feel joy. It's possible to feel joy when everything is bleak. Happiness is fleeting at best. Joy stays. I watched a speaker last night on ted talks that knows the Dalai Lama. He said he feels every single persons pain, every death, but at the same time feels joy and happiness.
In Philippians 4, Paul said, in whatsoever state I'm in, therewith to be content. That's pretty powerful stuff.***** The essential question in psychiatry should not be, what's wrong with you, but rather, what's happened to you? *****
