Today, I've encountered three interesting statements about happiness. The first was sent to me. The second is my response to the first. The final one is my husband's response to hearing the first two.
------------------------------------------------
Happiness has nothing to do with pleasure. You feel pleasure when you want something and you get it. Or when you don't want something and you remove it. Pleasure is always relative. Happiness is absolute. Happiness is the understanding and acceptance of life as it is in this very moment as completely perfect, because every creation of God is perfect. The degree to which you do not accept life in all of the Divine forms is the degree to which you suffer.
-------------------------------------------------
Happiness doesn't come from outside; it comes from inside. And once found and embraced, nothing that is outside can silence the song it sings within you.
-------------------------------------------------
Pleasure is tied to events. Happiness is tied to being.
-------------------------------------------------
Any others? Please feel free to add in the comments below. Thanks!

About Me
- Evening Star
- I am who and what God made me to be, no more, no less. I am a Christian in that I follow Christ and His teachings, not any particular flavor of Christianity. I've also learned much of and from other religions around the world and enjoy discussing any of them. I'm an open, friendly person who gets along with any type of person and welcome anyone to converse with me on any subject. Everyone brings with them something I can learn no matter their ability, background, education, income, intellect, lifestyle, nationality, position, religious beliefs, or any other lines with which humanity tends to divide itself. The world is filled with wondrous variety and I strive to find the Light and Love that exists in each and every person.
