I think joy is absolutely vital. It gives us the energy and hope to face every day. Our perception creates our reality. Nothing is ever totally dark and hopeless. We need to remember the concept of yin and yang of our existence.

Balance does seem to be something modern western society struggles mightily with.

Oh, goodness yes for us on the social media thing too. It's like over the past couple months Ve have been naturally progressing to "less" social media. Trimming fat and just putting the *bleeping* phone down haha! Or rather, not even picking it up in the first place. Interesting times indeed. Just get outside and roll around in the grass more, people!

Yes, I think it is absolutely OK to find joy despite the world being grim. I know during lockdown I tried my absolute best to do what I loved. I did loads of crafting and learnt new skills and wrote my first novel, which I really enjoyed doing. I absolutely understand that other people had totally dreadful lockdowns, or died even. Would me being miserable have helped them? I don't think so.
