I’ll go ahead and apologize for my smile and laughter while in heaven. LOL.

not sure what you’re getting at? The article is laying a guilt trip on people when it says things like “God wants me to be happy” is not a legitimate moral principle. It bespeaks a narcissism”

so the woman or man living alone, unable to get out among people, speak to others, etc, is ‘narcissistic’ when they experience personal joy that God might allow them to experience? That person can only be ‘religiously happy’ when they think of others and wish others were receiving the blessing instead? No- God brings us joy, happiness, etc without us being required to ‘think of others first’ before we’re ‘worthy enough to receive blessings from God’

If I’ve misunderstood your comment, I apologize- just seemed a bit snarky-

But isn’t our goal eternal life in heaven?

Not supposed happiness on earth.
