Everyone wants to be happy, but it is a common problem that people often look for happiness in the wrong places. The people who seem happy on the outside might not be satisfied from the inside—even people who have everything always desperately long for something more fulfilling, Father Rutler said. Jesus asks humanity not to be hopeless in any case. God has promised us love, mercy, and eternal peace. "Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wants it take the water of life free of charge". At one other place, it is said," "fountain of living waters." This means that a man belongs to God, and his needs and longings can be satisfied by Jesus. Did you ever think that does God even thinks about our happiness? Are our wishes significant? The answers to these questions would become simple if we first know what happiness is: What is Happiness? According to George Rutler, there are many definitions of happiness, but I believe happiness is the internal peace of a person. Happiness can either be the sense of contentment, a feeling of excitement, or even a feeling of random well-being. What is Morality? Morality can be defined as the set of standards that help people to live in a society. Morality in a society determines what is right and what is wrong, but morality is never fixed. In other words, morality is a set of customs and habits that makes a person think about how he should live to become a good human being. A person who does not follow society's standards is called immoral. It usually differs from society to society and culture to culture. It is influenced by geographic location, religion, and from families to families. Morality, Christianity and Happiness Father George Rutler teaches psychology and happiness at the University of Yale. She has conducted thorough research about what makes a human happy. She has worked on the pursuit of happiness. You can listen to her podcast, "The Happiness," in which she says that those who believe in Jesus and do things that make God happy can exactly know what true happiness is. I don't believe that buying expensive goods can make us happy in any way. Happiness comes with internal peace, and how a person with a hollow heart- a heart without the love of Jesus, can be happy. It does not mean that happiness cannot be associated with things. When we talk about Happiness in Christianity, it is not a temporary state of joy and delight. It is a long-life process to bring peace of mind, the calmness of heart, and eternal happiness to the person. The Christians believe that praying to God brings us closer to Him, making them happy. The Christians regularly visit the Churches for worship and seek forgiveness. In Christianity, praying to God in all silence brings them closer to God and leads to morality. The secret behind eternal happiness is to come closer to God and spend time with Him. The more you come closer to God, the happier you would be. Of course, you need the affection of God to be successful in everything you do in your life. So if you think that you do not need Him, you will for sure not spend time with Him or do things to make Him happy. However, if you understand why you need God, it will make the time go in His worship. Praise God at the prayer times with full devotion in an isolated place. How will you get to know if you need God or not? To find true happiness for our hearts and soul, you need God. Nothing else can satisfy you as God can. An unhappy or empty soul leads to a continuous state of unhappiness. If you understand your need for Jesus for your happiness, you will seek time to make Him happy. You will seek, and search, and go after Him like there is no tomorrow. You will spend the time required to fulfill that longing that you might feel in your soul. You will look for him everywhere, wherever you believe you can find Him. You will not stop searching for Him, Father George Rutler quoted.
