That could well be the case sometimes, I personally disagree though. I genuinely am full of joy most days. For me, I attribute this to every step I take against my habit of walking away from God, and especially the manifestation/experience of God's love in my relationship with my wife. So if I attest to that, it's an appeal to truth for the sake of someone else, not because I'm struggling to believe. Though even if that were the motivator, it seems like a healthy enough mechanism of society.
- c22 8y agoI have a slightly different take on this. I also experience joy most days these days but God has nothing to do with it. Rather, I manufacture this joy from within myself through sheer force of will, simply because I find living this way more pleasant than the alternative. I wasn't always able to do this, I believe it is a skill that grows stronger with practice. It is a matter of both shifting perspective and (re)structuring one's life/environment to support joyous moments.
