May 19. "Happiness as wellbeing." |
|
We hear it often from people that they want to be happy. We have also seen surveys conducted around the world determining the happiest people on earth. And out of goodwill or by habit, we actually wish one another happiness. What is the road to happiness? Describing happiness as wellbeing affirms the necessary orientation towards personal integration. It is when we see ourselves connected with others, especially with something larger than our own interests like God, country, family, etc., can we say we are happy. Personal integration therefore is all about discovering our place and role in the scheme of things within which we realize God’s purpose for us. Thus, happiness is an experience of wholeness of life.
