It's more of the being happy for the sake of being happy that doesn't make sense.Mishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612341216614922239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881862716663595642.post-12377893318364301462010-03-28T19:14:06.941-09:002010-03-28T19:14:06.941-09:00Also, don't forget that joy is man's purpo...Also, don't forget that joy is man's purpose for existence. Consider these words from Joseph Smith:<br /><br />“Happiness is the object and design of our existence and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.”<br /><br />Happiness and health may seem fleeting, and thus merely temporal rather than eternal. BUT 1) temporal concerns do relate to spiritual concerns and 2) in a broad sense, happines does not have to be fleeting (unlike good health which basically gets worse over the long term - although it's still worth praying for, because the Lord wants to give us good gifts, and wants us to be able to do good in the world as well)Brycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332305609338237125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881862716663595642.post-89180646869639870682010-03-28T18:52:20.471-09:002010-03-28T18:52:20.471-09:00Musings in Mishtown, I like it!

I have to admit, I'm both proud of you and worried for you that you're starting to follow in my blog-steps, but hey, you can't keep a good mind down, right? I know what you mean about having more thoughts than motivation to express them in an organized manner - and perhaps that is the way it should be :-)Brycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332305609338237125noreply@blogger.com
