Joy

Buffalo in Yellowstone

Joy is our natural state.

We experience happiness, and we experience sadness and frustration. We are addicted to the highs and lows of the conditioned life.

We are not in control of our lives. We unconsciously bounce from elation to depression because we have no awareness of what we are doing. We constantly look for something outside of ourselves to save us from unsatisfying lives. We believe that our lives would be enhanced if we only had something that we want, a new job, an article of clothing, a lover. The hole that we feel cannot be filled from obtaining any object or knowledge.
