C.M. You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You. While all want happiness, many people are confused about it. Unhappiness is taking the easy way out. True achievement lies in struggling to be happy. Happiness is not just a feeling from good things that just happen to us, things over which we have little control.
Happiness is largely under our control.
It is a battle to be waged and not a felling to be awaited. We are hungry. We eat pizza or have a steak dinner, and we are happy. But we cannot satisfy bodily appetites without limits. When we misuse as source of happiness, we get the opposite.
