I just closed my eyes, leaned back, and smiled because flying itself is, IMHO, a joy no matter where one sits.
Well, that's genuinely mind-boggling. What on earth is a joy about it? Perhaps you mean that life is a joy but then why is it better to be as you describe above? Would you say that it's a joy to be in prison too? Better still if your cellmates are fighting with each other? Curious.
