Can you be happy? Yes, in this way…
In every season of life, we say, either silently whispering to ourselves or in utter desperation to others: ‘I just want to be happy.’
If we’re honest, we all long for happiness. Happiness that rises above the temporal circumstances in which we find ourselves. Happiness that sores above the dark clouds of suffering and pain. As the world seemingly advances, cries for joy grow louder. The vast majority of those seeking ultimate happiness end up only manufacturing utter misery in the end. Real and meaningful joy seems elusive and impossible to obtain with any substantial measure of satisfaction.
