I chuckled at this...... don't people spend an unusual amount of time, effort, and money on strange surveys? This reminds me of a psychiatrist who used to be the doctor for some of the patients at one of my places of employment. He would ask them the question, "Are you happy?" To me, that was a silly question, because these folks were in the facility because they could not cope with life on their own, and they were happy one minute, then maybe angry or sad...... it all depended on little things around them. Which brings me to something I learned a long time ago. Happiness is a transient emotion based on surrounding circumstances. Joy, on the other hand, is a strong force, deep inside of us and helps us get through all circumstances and often projects itself to others as happiness. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

The word does say, "the joy of the Lord is my strength" and in another verse it says, "no man can take your joy"..... I have known people so full of joy, that even in the times of great sorrow, they emit a strength and peace that had to come from somewhere inside them, because everything around them would lead most of us into much unhappiness. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
