“Joy” – A two-sided coin????? – By Noor Rahim
The word “Joy” is such a wonderful 3 lettered word
The meaning is that of feeling great pleasure and happiness
That’s what it means to the righteous and God-fearing ones
But the word is like a coin, which is double sided
The goodness on one side and the other depicting the bad
One side depicts the goodness that one expects in life’s experiences
And the other, which reeks of sheer villainy and evilness
All this is dependent on how and by who, the coin is flipped
On one hand “joy” is the fulfilment of ones’ longing, as so desired
And the immeasurable pleasure it brings; that happiness elates
It also brings a great sense of satisfaction that in a person glows
All rolled in one is that “joy” brings to one, in many folds
The flip side of the coin, just reeks of venom and ill feelings of the “bad”
In as much as “joy” brings “Tears of joy” – of pleasure and happiness
We have the “evil” who would take “joy”, in others misfortunes
The sadist of course, will “Take great joy” in inflicting pain to the unfortunate & ill-fated
So, there you have the two sides of the coin depicting “joy” & “hatred”
One, the interpretation of the “good” fellow human beings
And the other, that of the vindictiveness and viciousness
Do flip the coin onto the “correct side” up & spread the Goodness of your “Faith
