What many people are looking for is happiness.
Happiness is actually in yourself.
Grateful to have a wife, job and family, and that's when I get happiness and passion in living life.
Life from the time of the prophet Adam to Adam Smith has not changed much. But we must change to train ourselves to be better and do more good.
True, we can't find any sort of lasting happiness externally. It's almost as if we decide we're going to be happy then it comes to be.
In this world there is only a small outpouring of favors that are not even worth one wing of a mosquito. I believe that in the afterlife there will be great and lasting blessings.
