When someone has been through a grueling experience, the absence of the strain is as close as they come to joy, in the near term. But I would say that Peterson's compensation is a tremendously powerful grip on reality, and that kind of anchor is not to be disparaged. And who is to say he does not find his joy in private moments, as with a sunset or a flower. He is finding his way by degrees toward Christ, and that always has a happy ending.
