Is Happiness Possible?

To live a happy life is not impossible. We can achieve happiness in this world if we know how and have an access to the road provided for us by our Creator. God did not leave us unguided and undirected. Actually, He gave us the freedom to choose a happy life or a miserable one. If we chose the right one we will certainly be happy and if we chose the wrong one we will be unhappy. Since God is Merciful and Compassionate, He provides us with His Guidance. Therefore, we don't have to struggle to find the direction. We only have to follow the direction provided by God in order to be happy. The thing is do we see the guidance as a guidance or we think we need not His guidance?

Many people chose the wrong way of life, follow only his whims, in the end of the day they will find themselves in emptiness. Some people find nothing meaningful in their lives. What happiness actually means to us? is it pleasure and material satisfaction? Is it something relative and temporal, which entails no one can really attain happiness? If happiness is confined to material and outward satisfaction, our happiness will be temporary and surely this is not happiness. It is mere satisfaction. Something to do with human emotion. Happiness is not an emotion, though a happy person will necessarily looked happy. Happiness should be permanent and immanent. It should not depend on situation and condition but on faith and noble values which rooted firmly in human natural condition.
