Can You Be Too Happy?

Do you think you can be too happy? That seems like a crazy question and surely the answer would have to be “no, you can ¢â‚¬â„¢t be too happy.”

Studies show that there is a darker side to feeling good, and the pursuit of happiness can sometimes make you, well, less happy. Apparently too much cheerfulness can make you gullible, selfish and less successful, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

The point of all this research is that hard and difficult times actually build our character. Jonathan Schooler, a US Professor of Psychology says:

“What’s bad is when people make happiness their explicit goal all the time.”

We sometimes get annoyed that God does not answer our prayers and make us happy. It could be that God is giving us more of what we need and less of what we want.
