Zero mentions of "joy" and "happiness" in the Jewish holy book; "freedom" only mentioned twice and not for good reasons at that (media.scored.co)

First, you're using the 1611 translation and Early Modern English uses words quite different than we do.

"Happy" was unrelated to emotion but was related to fortuitous chance, for instance. Forms of "happy" and "hap" still appear 58 times, but the then-common word for what we call happiness was "blessing", forms of which appear 522 times.

"Fun" didn't exist in 1611 with the modern sense of amusement, but simply meant "hoax", so naturally doesn't appear. However (contrary to the misread in the OP title), forms of "joy" and "enjoy" appear 216 times.

"Freedom" was a very technical word still, which is why its two KJV usages relate to citizenship. Even so, forms of "free" appear 101 times and of "liberty" and "liberal" 38 times.

Forms of "laugh" appear 40 times and forms of "cry" 434, so the ratio is not as bad as depicted; and laughter was then associated with mocking and foolish mirth (as an OP quote shows) and crying with any emphatic expression, including many positive ones (2 Sam. 18:25-27), so neither the KJV nor the Hebrew context had used the Greek tragicomedy duality to contrast these. "Isaac" the father of Israel, whose name means laughter, appears 132 times. But more to the point, in the root emotions, forms of "pleasure" have 240 appearances and forms of "sadness" 13, so it's all in the word choice.

"Birth" and "death" have many forms so the simplest comparison is between the Hebrew "yalad" "bear" (500) and "muth" "die" (839). So about a 40-60 split, nothing like OP.

Forms of "friend" have 107 cases and of "enemy" 380, again not the ratio projected. But in those days when you were close to someone you called him not "freed" (the meaning of "friend"), but "brother"/"brethren" (975 cases for both biological and adoptive).

The meme also uses some of the deliberate paradox language of Ecclesiastes without getting its point (that negatives have their purpose and place), which ironically reinforces its entire tone-deaf thesis. It digs in to Lev. 19:20 without seeking to understand the cultural context, namely that when evidence indicated a rape victim fought back then she was not punished (Deut. 22:25-27, which was canonically read alongside the Levitical law), but if there was no evidence she fought back then, instead of being executed as an accomplice to adultery, due to her social position she was mercifully punished without execution. In context it is only about a bondmaid who willingly breaks and adulterates her engagement, and it deliberately stops short of making it a capital offense.

So the entire meme reeks of failure to seek context for historical documents but instead to interpret them (even their antique translations) in Modern English only, with PC overtones. This is a local peak of Amerocentric bias that refuses to accept our Lord's dictation that the Word is fully inspired in its original text. Scripture readers will be familiar enough with the Biblical use of these contrasts to need no examples be supplied, but I'll just suggest one that I find inspiring:

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage .... For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another (Gal. 5:1, 13).

"Happy" was unrelated to emotion but was related to fortuitous chance, for instance.

a) Happy implies happenstance aka happen (chance) + stance (choice)...emotion/emotio - "to move from" implies inclining from ones stance aka taking a chance by given choice.

The relation of choice and chance is established by "taking" what is given and holding onto it, while becoming emotional unstable.

b) God WAS before choice (stance) was given and chance (happen) can be taken aka motion was before emotion can be chosen by matter.

"Fun" didn't exist

Fun aka fond implies choice inclining towards chance aka fond/want...representing each beings will (want) within nature (need). It's each beings emotional struggle to be fond of things one doesn't need like fondling titties because it's fun.

Fun...simply meant "hoax", so naturally doesn't appear

Appearances can be deceiving...all (perceivable) makes each one (perception) appear, which one another uses for deception (suggestion).

All implies nature...each native within alternates by choice in-between real (perceivable nature) or fiction (suggested artifice). Few represent artificer who tempt many with hoaxes (hexes; magic spells) into deceiving self.

"Freedom" was a very technical word still,

God giving choice implies dominance setting free...an analytical process. The word free-dom implies an artificial synthesis of what nature sets apart for analysis. This deception requires ones choice to take and hold together the artifice within nature aka technical (artifice within all).

A word can only be shaped within sound...the latter moves; the former tempts ones mind with noise into stillness aka ignorance. That's why one who's ignorant sounds noisy without actual saying anything.

it's all in the word choice.

a) Choice cannot contain all, nor can any word contain all sound...it's the one who chooses to ignore that which becomes the container (contain-ment) of self-deception. Others simply hoax one into it.

b) Words are shaped by LETTERS aka ones choice LETTING a chosen one shape words. It's the men of letters who control any words others choose to communicate with.

c) The difference between operative masonry and speculative masonry...words represent speculation within operational sound. The mason of free (will of choice) uses bricks (suggested information) and mortar (consensus) to build walls of ignorance within the minds of many by distracting from operation (sound) with speculation (words).

Stand fast

Standing implies choice (matter) balancing (momentum) within motion...fast implies affixing an imbalance (slow vs fast) within choice by distracting from motion.

Christ hath made us free

Christ (anointed one) implies each being set free from one another within the singular delineation of God...US aka uniting states implies anti-christ aka those set free turning against one another.

One implies free; us implies joined together like a masonic joint...
