Theme: Emotions |
It's all about a picture of effervescent energy and boundless zest for life. It's many notches above happiness. It's quite profound, intense and very infectious.
Happiness is something you can contain within you. When happiness bubbles over, that is exuberance.
You simply can't help expressing it outwardly. Maybe you will laugh out loud or have that extra spring in your step.
There are many examples we find in everyday life:
- a child's uncontrollable laughter while playing
- an athlete's triumphant cheer upon victory
- the boundless energy of a puppy
- the collective euphoria of a crowd at a concert
- the eureka moment of a scientist

ReplyDeleteeXcellent choice! YAM xx
Hi Yamini - Thank you. :-)
DeleteI did not know about this word until i read your post. I did not go to Harvard. HeHeHe.
ReplyDeleteChildren are exuberant... Adulthood is a gradual loss of exuberance!
DeleteHi Tomi - Yes, we have to make a conscious effort towards it.
DeleteLovely, Pradeep! It really is a great word and full of joy! I’ve just noticed your blog is quite overwhelmed with ads. I don’t seem to have them, so is it because you have agreed to them? The only problem is that they break up your text so much, it’s hard to read the post.
ReplyDeleteHi Val,
DeleteI am so sorry that you had an uncomfortable experience because of the ads.
I agreed to the ads many years ago, more out of curiosity and as an experiment to learn how the system worked.
Ads can be disconcerting, I fully agree, especially when they are intrusive.
I tweaked the settings to ensure that the ads don't appear within the posts or even between two posts. I shall check the settings again.
Thank you, Val, for the feedback.
Hi Pradeep - they've been bugging me too ... looks like you'll sort them out in due course. Thanks!!! Cheers Hilary
