There is happiness in the world, but it just doesn't last and that's why people so often get let down. In my experience the only way to receive lasting happiness and contentment is by developing a relationship with God. This is what we were created to do, so it's the only way we can really be satasfied. Schopenhauer’s right, the world doesn’t have a great deal to offer people.
