Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.

I belive happiness is also a choice... not just a gift you wait for... yes you get it by doing good but it is a deep part of who you are .. something that should be there even in hard times . Some of the happiest times as a child we had nothing but each other and God.
