ENDLESS JOY

I came across joy in chaos, and my life paused for a moment. Joy, Joy, joy—the emotion of great happiness. The unfailing truth is that joy comes from within and not outward. If your joy is not from within, then it's not joy. Endless, tiresomely long, seemingly without end, or you could say endless, means having no known beginning and presuming no end. When you hear the conjoined words "endless joy," it represents the tiresomely long emotion of long happiness. This is the emotion an expectant mot

Endless love

As a young boy, I was fascinated by romantic tragedies such as Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary (1856) and Amos Oz’s My Michael (1968). These novels served as cautionary tales, warning what could happen if passion withered and true love died. Take the undoing of Emma Bovary, who tries to relieve the banality of her life through a series of adulterous affairs. Ultimately rejected by her lovers and deep in debt, Emma swallows arsenic and kills herself. Like her, Hannah Gonen (the wife of Michael)
