Corny "appealing to the emotions in an obvious and tiresome way"
www.merriam-webster.com
I can think of a lot of words that are tiresome and obvious .
I don't find JOY to be one of them.
Happiness, now there's a word. It's fun, it's flirty, it's fleeting.
Happiness has always made me a bit uncomfortable, like the movie WILL end, the glass of wine WILL be drunk, the experience WILL be complete.
I 'm a fan of JOY.
I think the French have JOY nailed.
First there is 'Content'. Content is the word the French often use for happy.
Heureuse is exactly that- happiness as a bubbling emotion, something of the hour "heure".
But JOIE? JOIE is a way of life for the French: taste, touch , sound ,smell , hear. JOIE is in the atmosphere and in the very food they eat. JOIE is the senses awakened.
JOIE takes time.
And who has time for time in the US?I say whether you think it is corny or not, JOY is our true nature. If you feel silly with JOY,
LA JOIE is right here waiting to kiss your sweet neck and soak you with endless doses of VIVRE.
L'Chaim!
