But when we can, as often as we can, we should choose to give joy and feel joy as much as possible. It strengthens relationships and forges community. It leaves us all better off than we were before.

Go out and commit joy. 5/5

P.S. - Also because this is the Internet and I know how this goes, I’m not saying to stick your head in the sand and ignore problems and engage in toxic positivity. A well nurtured mind can contain many things at once.

Lauren, your perspective is always a breath of fresh air and, sincerely, encourage me to keep things more mature and positive. (or keep that side of me on the other place 🤣)

I appreciate you for building up discourse and promoting joy. You’re awesome. Thank you for that!

Ahh thank you, friend. It’s okay to be immature, too! We’re all doing this life thing for the first time and learning as we go, or so the youths on TikTok have taught me.

📌Right on the nose. We are a social species. That means we require social connections, with very few exceptions. Only having fun for yourself is nice and all but it becomes hollow and void in due time. Joy is one of the most powerful things out there.

Very well said, and these are among the reasons this is considered sacred practice in Buddhism.

COMMIT JOY, I love this so much.
