DerekZoolandah Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 There are, of course, many joys in the world - helping others, getting paid, winning something, so on so forth - but what is the greatest? What do you believe is the best? I really can't think of one at the moment, but I thought it was a good idea for a thread. I present to you men, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I. What a guy.

Mensch Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Seeing your son or daughter do the right thing, not from fear of punishment or thought of reward, but just because its the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGoddessI Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The greatest joy Having kids :thumbup: Watching them grow, their first smile, their first laugh and trust me you never thought you'd say the words "Oh good boy" when your son has done the most massive [cabbage] you've ever seen. The sad part is you mean it! The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

MC_Kejml Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 When you make something and other people like it. The feeling when a well-known, good fantasy/scifi critic said only "Bravo" instead of a stinging review to me is just unforgettable. Also, it's great when your works give something to people that read/see it. ^ my book :^_^: I don't play anymore, but I'm grateful I played through the best RS times!

Also, it's great when your works give something to people that read/see it. This. To add on to this, an audience's applause, or chuckle is another one of the greatest feelings I've encountered. All goes back to MC Kejml's post, it's awesome when people like something you've made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieMcD Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Eating Christmas dinner with 12 homeless people after spending 3 nights sleeping rough including Christmas Eve to raise money for charity. Annual school charity event, we sleep in a designated area on Dublins busiest street, from the 22 till Christmas morning. 8 of us shared Christmas dinner with 12 homeless people, the warmest and most grateful group of people I've come to known once you know them. Just the smiles on there faces as they sat and ate a proper meal for once, was pure joy to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to say the greatest joy is being able to feel joy if that makes any sense to you guys. Kids don't turn gangster, go on to hardcore drugs and grafitti for no reason. I can handle it :thumbup: Kids model behaviour. If you're a douchebag of a parent, or an external stimuli is affecting x child then they're going to go off the rails. Not always but it's likely. If the latter were to happen then I'm going to be a good mother and get him the help that he needs. If he doesn't want help then I'm only going to make him rebel if I push anymore so need to let him know that I'm here for him. Overall, even if he did turn out gangsta, on hardcore drugs and grafitti for no reason he's still my little boy in my eyes and will ALWAYS love him. No less than the first day I held him In my opinion if you let go of the people you love at their worst, then they're only going to see darker days. I really don't like to give up on anybody. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

wild_goat_14 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Having the one you love fall asleep in your arms This. At least for me, being only 15 years old and not experienced having kids yet. I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.So, what is 1.111... equal to?10/9. Please don't continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
