I think how you define them would be your call. Of course they have their dictionary definitions.
In my best moments, I see the problem with positive descriptions of our feelings is that they are inevitably alternating with their negative counterparts, eg. unhappiness and sadness. Then the desire for happiness or joy can become a struggle against opposition.
The only state that looks sustainable for a lifetime is acceptance. One comes to see that as a positive thing beyond one-sided descriptions of our feelings.
A continuously non-attached acceptance is for me a joyful life.
