Joy is as thorny and sharp as any of the DARK emotions. To love someone fiercely, to believe something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in life that doesn't come with garantees --- these are all risks that involve vulnerability and often pain.
In fact, addiction research shows that intensely positive experiences can be as likely to cause relapse as intensely painful experiences."
