Happiness and God.
God wants us to be happy. But perhaps we aren't. Happiness is not a feeling. Happiness, Aquinas tells us is found in knowledge of God. Perfect possession of the perfect good. Happiness as he describes it is something that satisfies one's ultimate desire.
Happiness is distinguished from satisfaction of the senses, which we might call contentment. But surely if we are happy we will also be content? Will we not.
If I am trying to follow the correct path and love God and my fellow man, then why do I not feel happy?
I wonder what Lewis has to say on this matter.
