Bodies, Soul, Karma, Reincarnation

[Ohr Ein Sof]

Now I believe that you are in joy when you are doing what you were created to do, this includes humans.  In the case of the coffee machine, it cannot really do anything other than what it was created to do.  So it must be in joy at all times really ?  Not such a poor thing after all...  I'm nearly jealous!  

How can you know 'joy' without knowing 'despair'?
As once 'joy' is defined so does 'not joy' / 'despair'.

When one define "A" with it's defined limit, it will automatically define "Not A" for things outside it's limit.

The same things goes for other definition such as "jealous", "Poor", "Created", "Humans", "Coffee Machine", "You".

You can not know despair is how you can only know joy. There are very many people who are unaware of the depths of the self and deny that they are this or that. They may know it subconsciously, but consciously, they haven't a clue.
This, that you describe, is one of the steps to balancing the personality. There are many people who cannot even begin to consider knowing their shadow. Therefore, it is possible to only know, by your own level of consciousness, to know only joy and not despair.
