Detached

So many are trying to find happiness, like it's going to pop up or out of something and they'll be happy for evermore. Where did that idea come from? Happiness comes from a choice, that choice demands commitment to separate from things and invest in people (attach to people). People are the only creatures that create happiness in their true purpose. People can't make cars, phones and such happy, you may think they make you happy for a season, but you'll soon find out that real happiness can only be found in people. How crazy it is to live trying to find happiness in things that never will feel happiness much less provide happiness. So many have become so dependent and so attached to things in their search for happiness, that they have become detached from the only source that happiness is found, people. This may be the addictions of addiction, the deception of falling in love with possessions and not a person. The truth is, a person was created to fulfill, make complete, to make happy, not a possession. A person can possess all the world can offer, and still be unhappy. Solomon tried it all, but it was when he realized real life and true happiness comes from a person and not possessions, that he made the choice. The choice to attach himself and his life to God, and detach himself from possessions. You can have the worlds possessions surrounding you and be lonely and unhappy, it's about someone not something. Man had the world and God said he was alone, so God gave the man a woman, not more stuff. Refuse the detached life, believing possessions provide happiness. Make the choice, people not possessions create happiness. Stuff doesn't need salvation, people do.
