Happiness

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. from the US Declaration of Independence.

So our government guarantess everyone the "right" to pursue happiness.

Do you think everyone wants to be happy?

Is everyone pursuing happiness?

Do you think God meant for us to pursue happiness when he created us?

What do you think?...more to come on this topic

  1. interesting question.... However I believe that in the original context "happiness" referred to prosperity rather than general fulfillment.

  2. What do you think about the God question? Does he want us to pursue happiness?

    Can we find happiness w/o Jesus Christ?

  3. What is the difference between happiness and Joy? We are told we can have a "full joy", but is that what the Founder's meant?

    Just wondering....

  5. thewaytohappiness.org

    The author of this site claims that the way to happiness is simply following a common sense moral code. This code boils down to the teachings of Jesus with the exception of any reference to God.

    What do you think?
    Can following Jesus' teachings, but not acknowledging him as Lord and Savior lead to fullfillment? Why or Why Not?
