Ok...I haven't updated in forever...I know. Well, here's one for ya. I posted this a while back. Everyone around that time that I talked to thought that this was a very interesting subject, yet when I posted it all I got was "Hum...very thought provoking." I know everyone wrote this off as just another phsyco babble from George. But here it is again. This time pay attention because there is something different this time. This time there is an answer.
Happiness...Where does it come from? Was is created by God or is it a simple byproduct of human consciousness? Maybe we came up with it our selves. Hatred is an emotion, but that definitely isn't of God.
Or maybe it was like our bodies, perfect at one time, but tainted by this unholy physical world. Is happiness as simple as a persons point of view on the world? Is that why some people are happy with only the littlest things and others, it takes an earth shaking event to provoke an emotion? If it is, we don't have too many things to be happy about.
What we do have to be happy about is very large indeed, enough to counter-balance the bad. That's is how I look at life. It might not always be the best thing, but it seems that is the way that I am wired.
Life is going good if the good out weighs the bad and life isn't so good when the bad out weighs the good. I guess God really does need to be the God of your whole life, the big, little, and everything in between. That is what makes life so much better. The God of life, not just giving it to you, but being a part of every aspect of it.
All I know is that I can feel it. Not feel it like when I know something is going to happen, but rather more definite, permanent part of me. Like a limb, it's just always there and I don't want to live life without it.
Even right now in my brain there is a massive amount of firing neurons stimulated by the hormones release in my body. But reactions like that can be caused by anything. It is what our conscious selves interprets it to mean that counts.
Alright, I guess I have done enough introspection and ranting for right now. Please, let me know what you think. Talk with your friends about it and let me know what they think. Post it on your xanga or myspace. I would be interested in seeing what happens when people stop looking at them selves from the inside and take a real outside view. Really outside, like outside the presence of human consciousness. Alright, talk to everyone later.
Now, for the much awaited answer. Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 says "...This too I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness..." So there it is, in black and white. So sayeth the Lord. Happiness is from him...and what a great gift it is. My we all live in everlasting happiness. God Bless You All.
