I don't understand what you wrote at all. Layman's wordage maybe?

Unbridled Joy: far, far greater than dogma and morals. Giving not from a sense of "pain-weight," a dour and usually hurtful obligation of giving that follows from self-denial and not the freely given abundance of love.

Unbridled joy? Perchance, speaking of "irrational exuberance," - not to echo Alan Greenspan.
Jesus' promise is to leave with each believer:
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27)
It is a deep sense of inner peace, always present, and in the midst of a crisis or emergency, it settles around you like a soft cloud, allowing you to speak and think rationally, in order to resolve the situation, wh**ever it may be.

Nope, unbridled joy -- a whole 'nother animal, it is. :wink: Definitely not irrational to be sure. Some days, I guess because I am wrapped in God's grace, I feel this sense of joy that knows no end.

I see it as kinda like the Cross. Love at the top which is the beginning of all things, Happiness and Joy at the Right, Anger and Frustration at the Left, Hatred at the Bottom. In the middle however, is Peace or Contentment which is what should always be no matter what happens.
All living things require simple Love in the beginning. Happiness is a state of mind that happens, but then we go back to our state of Peace and Contentment.
Anger and Frustration is necessary to alert us to something not good, requiring communication, but eventually going back to Peace and Contentment.
Hatred is a siren to your soul that something has gone terribly bad, and will require repair through that higher understanding of Love still above you, so you can still get back to your center of Peace and Contentment.
The "Love" at the top will have many thorns in it by the time we are old and grey, but Peace and Contentment will still be there- just much wiser.
That is how I see it anyway~
