Desires• Happiness is what you feel when what you want to
happen happens.
• Buddhism - True happiness is only possible if we stop desiring.
• C.S. Lewis “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us . . . we are far too easily pleased.”
Psalm 16:11 NASB
You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
