Summary: Let’s look at the reverse though. From what we’ve learned about joy, someone who is joyless would be: Someone who sees the glass as half-full. Someone who has little passion (inward and outward) in their lives. Someone who holds a lot back and is half-hearted (we’ll get to this one a little later). Someone who can not be themselves. Someone who doesn’t know how to have fun. Someone who has not experienced freedom. And then finally, someone who puts all of that stuff above on other people. For now were going to call the opposite of joy a term you may have heard of – for now, we’ll call it legalism.
