If we realize we're undeserving, suddenly the world comes alive. Instead of whining about everything that goes wrong, we're surprised at God's many kindnesses, and our hearts overflow with thanks.

In Randy Alcorn's book "Happiness," the author highlights a transformative perspective on life. By recognizing our unworthiness, we shift our focus from what we lack to appreciating the abundance around us. This realization allows us to see the world with fresh eyes, filled with gratitude for the small and significant blessings we often overlook. Rather than dwelling on negativity or complaints, we become more aware of the positive aspects of our existence.

Alcorn emphasizes that this shift in thinking can lead to a deeper and more fulfilling life. When we approach life with a heart attuned to kindness and grace, even the simplest experiences can evoke feelings of joy and thankfulness. This sense of gratitude enriches our lives, enabling us to embrace happiness rather than allowing ourselves to be consumed by discontent.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
