The poem "Joy" describes simple life joys and with this quote, the author tries to explain that they are best experienced if we do not try to understand them. In this poem, the speaker was worrying about different problems and because of that, she was not able to enjoy her happy moments. With this quote, the author tries to highlight the importance of joy and happiness and says that we should allow ourselves to be happy. We should not think about happiness all the time and enjoy life as much as we can.
