"Happy families are all alike;
every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
Tolstoy in Anna Karenina
Joy is universal. It is infectious and all-embracing. Even if we do not speak the same language, joy is both communicated and understood.
Sadness has a life all its own. While it consumes us like joy, sadness has its own unique biology. Sometimes it is reflective of one's upbringing. Other times it is because of a chemical imbalance. Other times it is jealousy....The list goes on and on.
Better to be connected by joy than disconnected in our inner pain.
