Is a Happy Life Really Possible

It's good to be alive! That is the way a person feels when he is happy. But if we are realistic, we know that life is not always that way. There are problems. These may be so many and so weighty that real happiness seems just a dream. Need it be that way? You know that a happy life is made up of various elements. To enjoy life we need enough to eat, and suitable clothing. we need a home where we can find protection and rest. Yet these are just the basics. Pleasant companionship and good health are also important. But even those who have a measure of these things may still long for true happiness. The type of work a person does, or the conditions underwhich he must work, may rob him of contentment. Also, in many families there is conflict between husband and wife or between parents and children. Nor can we ignore that over all of us hangs the possibility of sickness or sudden death. Do you believe that it is possible to cope with these and other problems in such a way that we can find true satisfaction? There is reason to believe so. Yet for anyone to enjoy a happy life, he first needs something that not all have-a reason to live. Your life must have meaning if you are to be truly happy.
