Joy and sorrow

Joy and sorrow-the two states of mind ,are a fact of life.According to me, one of these states always occupies a person's mind.A person can't claim to have a mixed state of mind in this context.Even if he has reasons for both, one of them dominates the other and the state of the mind shapes accordingly.
The body wants happiness in its own selfish way but the mind interferes and prevents it from doing so.But the body is helpless.After a small success(didn't find a smaller word for it),the body again asks for it and this time,the mind too supports it. But the heart comes and reminds it of the next task.The mind and the body obey it like a well paid servant.And the cycle goes on after a restart.
People say that sorrow dominates happiness irrespective of their magnitude,until the difference is very large .But sometimes its difficult to gauge their magnitude,even relatively and they may be time dependent.What seems a small sorrow now, may turn big and a similarly a small happiness may turn miniature.Now the time dominates.
