While We Need to Balance Simcha with the Proper Seriousness, Simcha Comes First

We end-off last year with reading: תַחַת אֲשֶר לֹא עָּבַדְתָּ אֶת ה' אֱלֹקֶיךָ בְשִמְחָּה וּבְטוּב לֵבָּב תבא כח מז how all Tzaros in the world come from the lack of Simcha, which caused such a horrific Tochacha. So our Sukkos is total Z’man Simchaseinu, and our Lulavim and Hadasim can’t have thorns, or else it’s missing in: דַרְ כֵי נוֹעַם being pleasant and Geshmak. (Gemara). We start the year with extreme Simcha, Chag HaSukkos Z’man Simchaseinu, and with the Simchas Bais HaSho'eva, which: מִי שֶלֹא רָּאָּה שִמְחַת בֵית הַשוֹאֵבָּה, לֹא רָּאָּה שִמְחָּה מִיָּמָּיו was a Simcha like no other.
