Much of life's happiness comes from how we respond to circumstances. The same circumstance may produce different reactions in different individuals as some say 'the glass is half full' while some others say... 'it is half empty'!

You're right, one can always build castles of joy in air and be happy if an ability is developed to see the glass as always full, if not with the liquid of love, with air, because life refuses vacuum. Thank you dear Valsa George.

Happiness differs from person to person. One's joy may be one's unjoy. You have put a nice chart about happiness in percentage on Poet's note. A nice sonnet on joy or happiness has been portrayed by you amazingly.. The concluding lines are much impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your encouraging comments. Yes, you're right the couplet that follows the Volta of a sonnet has to be such.
