happiness

“Be joyful even after you have considered the facts.” – Jane Goodall

Genuine happiness and the joy it engenders really only arise from our connection to the transcendent. Any other kind of happiness is a sloppy second, a half-happiness, a false joy. The happiness and joy we are hard-wired to deeply long for, is found in the transcendent dimension of life.

Everyone wants to be happy. That’s pretty universal. But we all appear to be confused about it. We’re confused about how to find happiness, how to keep it when we do, why it’s so elusive, where it comes from and why we lose it. We don’t understand why it’s so hard to be happy, to be genuinely happy.
