Everyone might be wondering what is the difference of happiness and joy. Some say that joy is an emotion while the others say its not. I'm going to tell you the difference between them and differentiate so that you will understand it a little better. Let's talk about happiness.

Happiness is an emotion in which one feels satisfaction and bliss. Happiness is caused only by events, material objects, and temporary things. Which means happiness is only temporary and will also disappear as time goes by. One example is when someone gives you a gift in a paper bag or wrapped with a gift wrapper you will feel happiness inside you since you are very excited to see what's inside. And the happiness will also disappear after a few days or hours after you recieved that gift.

While joy is stronger than happiness. Joy is more harder to achieve than happiness. Joy is about achieving selflessness to achieve joy. Joy is not not like happiness. It doesn't disappear quickly and the cause of joy is having peace and contentment to your self. Joy is not an emotion unlike happiness. Emotions disappear and joy doesn't really disappear quickly.

Basically happiness and joy are very different. Remember that happiness is an emotion which one can only feel temporarily and is only caused by objects, materials, and events. While joy is not an emotion and the feeling of joy doesn't disappear quickly. Joy is caused through selflessness, inner peace, and contentment.
