True Happiness

(Picture by fictionalfearless on sketchfu)
People rely their Happiness on Securities of what I like to call the 'Second' group of basic human needs aside from Food, water and shelter.
You rely on the...

Security of Money. How much you make, How much you have, How much you would earn and How much you could do to save more or How much stuff you could buy with all the money

Security of Company.
How much friends you have, How many people would want to spend time with you, How many people would want to share their secrets with you. How many people like or love you. How many people like the way you look, How many wants to imitate your style. How much a special someone could love you and How many others are waiting for you to like them back.

Security of Intelligence
How much you know about the world, and philosophies and realizations. How much grade you get at school, How many people think so highly of you because youre smart. How many times you get the compliment that youre brilliant or good at something. How many times you get an award for doing something you're good at. How many times teachers compliment your work in front of the class to show off your real skills in a certain subject. How many questions in exams could you answer right or how much you impress old and veteran people and How many times have you succeed.


Should we not admit that these things are basically our full time target of what our happiness would be like?

Do we not study and work hard for us to get high grades and awards?
Do we not dress nicely and wear make up for people to notice and like us?
Do we not work hard on our jobs to earn more money than we already do?

But honestly, the wealthiest, the smartest and the most beautiful person in the world can never be fully happy, unless they discover the truth about God.
If you rely on your own money for relief from every single kind of pain that you experience, it would not ease until you discover God's healing hand.

If you rely on your own self for confidence and courage to face trials, you would not truly succeed without God's guidance and support.

If you rely on your own knowledge and philosophies about everything in the world due to scientific facts and conclusions and psychological aspects, you would never truly understand anything about life without God's word and lessons.

If you base your happiness on these basics of an ideal life on earth which are all going to die with you, you would never truly experience what its like to live and be filled with true happiness.

For what I have learned in my young age is that the material things fill out only our desires and hunger.

I tried focusing on money, but its a never ending struggle to spend, save, spend and save and all over again.
Material things that you could buy will run out, money will run out too.

I tried focusing on my social life. My friends, my confidants. The people i trust and love. The best kind of people i know. But friends come and go. Mostly fade through the years. Seldom is the time when two people are consistent with their relationship with each other as years go by. Before you know it, you are out on your own, looking for new friends once again.Most of the time, it's almost impossible to find real ones again.

I tried it on studies. I focused so much on knowledge. Specifically scientific facts, on how the world works through basic logic and conclusions of Science. But the knowledge you'd know would feel so empty and incomplete in your mind. It would not be enough to satisfy your curiousity of the world.

But truly, It is God who would provide the best treasures, greater than gold.

It is God who would teach us the most important life lessons we could ever know.

It is God who would be our best friend and Father who would never leave us, no matter how much we turn away or how much we defy him.

You could have everything, Wealth, Beauty, Company, Brains...but you have NOTHING until you have God.
Yes, It is always God who fills out empty holes in our human hearts.
