Many people believe that chasing for riches, power, health, or pleasure is the cure for unhappiness in life. However, those who have attained the peak of this pursuit commented otherwise. They ended into life full of depression, emptiness and uncertainty. A psychotherapist in San Francisco, U.S.A. said that for them money is root of stress and confusion.
What then is the secret to real happiness? First, we need to satisfy our spiritual needs. This is in harmony with Jesus Christ's saying that: "Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need." (Matthew 5:
3) This would be true to us if we allow God's written word, the Bible, to guide us in our daily lives through our serious study of it and our effort to live by it. We could learn the real meaning of life from God's standpoint and that insight would get us rid of confusion and some unnecessary problems.
Second, keeping our lives simple is no less than a factor to blissful life. If our life is simple, we tend to have only simple problems. We could do away with the complicated one. Jesus Christ counselled this way: "If, then, your eye is simple, your whole body will be bright." (Matthew 6:19-22).
