Is there a greater purpose than personal happiness? What is that purpose? And how is it greater?
This is happiness in the sense of contentedness, or fulfillment.
"Are you happy in life?" is not asking if you are always merry. It is asking if your life is, on balance, a fulfilling one.

I put this in the general debate section, not that it needs to be debated, but it will indeed bring about a lot of clashes of differing opinions. As such, I do not want to restrict comments by putting this elsewhere.

I was speaking with my brother on a number of topics and he more or less accidentally blurted something out in a fit of thought that got me thinking.
In the case of belief in multiple gods that each attend to an area of reality - for example a wind god, sun god, sea god, etc., the humans...

“Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or rude. Love isn’t selfish or quick tempered. It doesn’t keep a record of wrongs that others do” (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 CEV). Dwelling on an offence for too long can cause bitterness, which in turn can lead to depression. The moment you...
