DAY 2131: Discuss this quote in your blog. “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” Charles Spurgeon True happiness never comes from the things we have or want to have. Sometimes contentment comes from things, but it is often short lived. When we lose what made use content, we face unhappiness, discontentment, and negativity. True happiness doesn't always come from what we enjoy. Momentary happiness come from the things we enjoy, but it can also be short lived. Especially when we have to give up that activity because of age or deteriorating health. True happiness is a spiritual attribute, with several different components. One of those components is suffering, and another is sacrifice. Happiness without these two components can only be consider contentment and won't last beyond the point of physical death. “Then it is impossible to attain happiness without suffering?” ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá: “To attain eternal happiness one must suffer. He who has reached the state of self-sacrifice has true joy. Temporal joy will vanish.” Day 2738: "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." Bob Marley Let this quote inspire your blog entry. Listening to music makes me happy. Listening to music relieves the pain of negativity and depression. Sometimes I listen to jazz. Sometimes I listen to country. Sometimes I listen to spiritual music. I listen to songs I haven't heard before, so I know if the song has a positive and negative effect on me. I will listen to an artist I've never heard before, to find out the genre of music and how it effects me. True happiness for humanity will come when the majority of humankind realizes that we are one family. Footnotes |
