Modern society is an evolutionary attempt to remove joy from life.
We have it when we are young, when the act of stepping off an escalator is a joyful action.
Yet as we grow older the actions that once thrilled us can become stale. Unless we are wary, we lose our joy.
Look around at the other people. See their expressions.
Joy is beautiful. We must strive to keep it. But not by trying to hold it; by letting it loose.
It is there as a gift when we are born, a gift we should not let fall by the wayside.
If joy is all we have, it is enough.
