I agree. I have often thought that there is a dilemma in current education, where students engage in fun easy activities and miss the joy of satisfaction in the achievement of something hard.

Fun is all right but joy is where it's at.

I remember my first experience of joy. It was when my husband-to-be decided to move in with me. I felt this liquid light going through me, streaming to every part of my being. It truly feels different from fun or even ecstasy.

Absolutely spot on, Jonathan! To me fun is like fast food, and joy is like a home-cooked meal (even better, from a new recipe!).
