I believe the only way to receive complete happiness is passing through the hardships of mortality and coming through it redeemed of Christ and brought back into the presence of God. Without these difficult life experiences Man, I believe, cannot know happiness. That is to say, without knowing the bitter (mortality), how can we truly appreciate and understand the sweet (Communion and an eventual reunion with God).


Good decisions do affect the happiness of our offspring, but I think they have to pass through the difficulties of life to truly be happy in this life and in the life to come.
