“Happiness is a serious problem” –Dennis Prager.
He was right. Unhappy people do incredible damage in the
world. Ask yourself-do happy people rob banks and shoot innocent people? They
don’t.
Another deeply troubling issue: Unhappy people do incredible
damage to their religion.
Nagging, sour or morose LDS do more harm to the church than
the most rabid unbeliever. Non-members
will say: Wow! Are all religious people and Mormons like that?
Like no other religion, Mormons are often thought of being
very happy. We are. The joy we have in
our lives in amazing and we should show it.
None of this is to say we can’t be sarcastic, have dry
senses of humor or look through the world with rose -colored glasses. You can
still be happy and joyous when things aren’t going swimmingly well.
The joy we have in our hearts needs to be shared with the
world. That and the restored gospel are the two biggest truths we can give to
society.
