Given the choice, I'll take happy anyday over sad. Normal people want to be happy.
Honesty counts here, friend.
Depending on your personality and your present situation, happiness could be having a warm bed and a bowl of soup or it might be having a second chance at making a relationship work. What makes me happy might not do much at all for you. As you might guess happiness, according to God's wisdom is not found in the places that our society tells us we can find it. We love our material possessions, we seek to be empowered, and we look for respect. There is no higher place to go for wisdom than the Word of God.
