You can't tell what is their greatest joy.

Joy could mean different things to different people and for different purposes. When things are going well there's a feeling of peace in us but when things go on the contrary, sadness possibly sets in.

When we're joyful, we make some decisions ordinarily we won't want to make. That decision could be unreasonable yet we make them same way when joy leaves, the tendency to also make unreasoned decisions isn't uncommon.

"Robert Holden, Ph.D", identifies five qualities of joy Viz;
Joy is constant joy is everywhere we are and not only somewhere when we stop chasing our ego and see reality then joy flows.
Again, Robert Holden says that joy inspires creativity. When you're in joyful frame, you're more open to more ideas - creative thinking that possibly add value to life . Personally when I don't have joy in me , making good content is always challenging .
The next point that the Dr. identied as to be yet another character of joy is that Joy is unreasonable. What gives joy might not be anything very reasonable but one could find joy in it and is happy.
According to the Dr, joy has no opposite just like our mood do. He says that joy is untroubled.
Robert says that love is the twin to joy. When you take away joy from a man you have taken away love from him. And lastly he says that joy is enough and it's on these wise I want to tell little life experience with the granny's and what they say as joy.

The stage and position of being a granny is a very crucial stage in life and what we do to them or for them matters a lot.
A granny is someone whose children had begotten children. And the joy of the grannies is seeing their grandchildren and same for the children spending holidays or Weekends with the grannies gives an awesome joy , happiness and love mutual love is created. The reason for this joy no one can tell but seeing your children's children is enough and Dr Robert Holden says Joy is enough , it's unreasonable and not allowing the free flow of this joy is taking away love which no one would love.

Allow the granny's their decision when they insist.

In the year 2014 or 2015 I don't remember exactly, my best friend had his first child and his father was in his house when this child came to the world an 82 years old man and having his first ever first grand child. This old man called on his son and told him that he wants to be the one to name his grand child that he should please allow him this honor and my friend replied "never will I do such, he's my son, my first born no one would name but myself". These words hit on the old man and cried and life continues.

What the old told me.

The old knows how close his son and I are, he told me to advise my friend to allow him this opportunity saying that this his son had done much for him , taking care of him, his health and all that. I want to bless my son through his first son the old man said.
I went to my friend I told him to allow the old this opportunity he refused.

The blessing left him to another.

This my best friend has a younger brother who was an apprentice at the time came visiting bought a mobile phone for his aged father, a small hand radio 📻 and this moved the old man into tears and right in the house of my best friend, his father knelt the younger one down put his two hands 🧤 over his head and prayer for him for about two hours plus and my friend became angry and stopped his father for further prayers and saying you have been in my house for three years I took care of you and you never made such prayers for me and the father said to my friend your younger touched my heart.

Imagine what my best friend had done for his dad all these years and within a few days he lost everything due to #ego and knelt down for his father to bless him and the old man when I have the next opportunity to name your child your blessings would come.
This was a big challenge for my friend and sooner his wife took in and scan said it's a baby girl and my friend was very happy to receive his own portion of his father's blessings and very unlucky for him two days to the date of delivery as given by the doctor, his father died.
This is a real life story and it's wise that when our parents make some request from us though difficult it might be and checking that it's for good I think we should allow them so that their would be complete.
