Today, two friends of mine are enjoying best wishes. It’s their birthday. As I wish them happiness, I have been thinking about what makes us happy. For some of us, being happy is having many friends, is living a comfortable life, is able to live life the way one wants to, is being with our own families, is having ability to enjoy what life has to offer.
Someone defined happiness as being in state of bliss. Another defined it as having achieved one’s life goals. Another insisted that it is nothing more than being surrounded by loving people. Yet another thought that being happy means doing everything one enjoys doing.
How would you define happiness for you?
For me, happiness is being immersed fully in loving God and others to a point that I do not even think of myself. That is, my happiness is found in this relationship with God and others. Even in solitude, I find myself experiencing the presence of God and of you.
