happiness II

"After all, there is surely no more important issue in our lives than our happiness." (Better than Chocolate, introduction)
What about feeding the poor? Or caring for the abused? Or healing the sick? Or visiting prisoners? Are we meant to put these lower down the scale than our own happiness?
Hitler was about being happy! Sadam Hussain thought happiness was a great idea! Stalin liked the idea as well!
Happiness is not unimportant, but it is far from being the most important thing in our lives.
When happiness because our primary measure then God help us!
People lets reject this happiness tripe and begin to discover the joy of life found in a life selflessly given away rather than selfishly lived.
