Where do you look for Happiness? Anyway what is even happiness to start with?
Simply put, Happiness is an emotional thing associated with feelings such as contentment and satisfaction which establishes enormous joy in peoples lives. So I ask again where do you look for joy?
In Power? - No! If it were, Napoleon Bonaparte who was one of the most powerful military leaders in his last days wouldn't have confessed sadly; "There is not a man who would lay down his life for me."
In Money? - No! If it were, Jason Gould, a multi-millionaire railroad tycoon while on his death-bed wouldn't have summed up his life to say; "I suppose I'm the most miserable devil on earth." He could buy almost anything with money except happiness.
In Pleasure? - Oh No! If it were, Lord Byron, the famous english poet who lived for pleasure wouldn't have described the end of his life as being filled with nothing but guilt, disease and sorrow inevitably. So what a shame!
In Fame? - A well-known politician who enjoyed more than his share of fame wrote; "Youth is a mistake, manhood a struggle, and old age a regret." So the deceptive bubbles of fame got burst? So I say NO!
In Unbelief? - Francois-Marie Arounet popularly referred to as Volataire, a french man and an outspoken atheist and philosopher, lived a regretful live despite the philosophies of life. His philosophies could not produce happiness; no wander he strayed in the views of his book "The Three Impostors." So this is NO!
Hmmm! Not to say much. All these are vanity and grasping for the wind (Eccl. 2:17). So where is happiness? Just in God. Casting all cares on HIM. He is the giver of hope (will) and can fill you with all joy and peace you need. (Rom. 15:13).
