Especially true if your greatest highest joy is scamming people, or worse, tormenting people, or worse, torturing people or worse raping and torturing people, or even more true if you were a tormenting torturing raping murdering savant?
This never happens when pursuing your highest joy.
This happens as a result of traumas.
This happens as a result of limiting your joys.
You have to be down in the bottom of the emotional scale, in anger and revenge for the things you said to be "joyful". But, if you are really seeking your highest joy, you will soon get out of these low emotions.
However, telling someone to seek their highest joy, straight away, is probably not the best plan of action. To seek your highest joy requires knowing yourself. And that requires a lot of introspection tools and techniques.
That indeed happens when those high joys are of scamming, or manipulating or lying and every other wrong thing that people can be overjoyed with.
Greed will overjoy many, not only anger and revenge.
How do you lose anything seeking to overjoy the many though, it seems that it's a catch-all especially since you'll paradoxically condemn the overjoyed Self Righteous who believe that the means justify the ends, or will you tell me that that is exactly what you're talking about when you say that there's no joy in serving the community because every time by universal law you will fail because you're so Self Righteous and Overjoyed, cautioning us on what not to be overjoyed by, under any circumstances?
The means NEVER justifies the ends.
So, to start with the premise "the means justifies the ends" automatically means you are not following your highest joy.
"overjoy" - i do not know how you mean this word. It is not my word.
Highest joy - as opposed to lower joys. It is joyful to sleep in. It is more joyful to complete life goals that are exciting to you.
Indeed you'd say that as I pointed out, the Self-Righteous will justify it as that and they will certainly be overjoyed with it, and you were saying that bringing joy to others is a folly and universally so.
Overjoy is higher than the highest joy.
