Didn’t she feel envious of others who had things she did not? She had smiled at the thought and shaken her head. “Then what is your secret?” I had asked her, laughing. Suddenly serious, she had replied that it seemed to her that joy was not something personal. When I looked at her, baffled, she explained she has found that if you are genuinely happy for them, people are very generous with their joy and share it with you openheartedly. “When something good happens to the person next to me, I am there to celebrate it with them. Their good luck makes me feel lucky. I rejoice with them about it as fully as if it was happening to me,” she told me. “It makes me really happy.” She paused and looked thoughtful. “Of course, then it is happening to me,” she said with a grin.
