My recent bouts with depression has made really think about happiness. What is it about happiness that makes it seem so unattainable. Out of curiosity, I looked up several definitions of happiness. More than any other word, I saw pleasure.
I propose that happiness about something more than pleasure. If happiness is based so much on pleasure, no wonder so many people have trouble finding happiness. I think happiness is about being content. However, that doesn't mean that you're only happy if you have the biggest houses, the fastest cars, and the largest paycheck. I think happiness is about being content with what you have.
God told us that He'd give us everything we need. Maybe we need to realign what we want with what we need.
