"Follow your bliss." Joseph Campbell

"Follow your bliss." Joseph Campbell

“Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die.” Jesus

If ignorance is bliss and we follow it simply because it makes us happy now, we may be in store for some unpleasant surprises later. Wisdom tells us to consider if what makes us happy is also wholesome. While I believe that God cares deeply about our happiness, like any good parent He wants us to possess the right kind of happiness. If what makes me happy is ultimately not wholesome, He is surely not going to approve of it. We cannot use our bliss as a measure of what is good and right and true. Everything that is good and right and true is the horse that should pull the cart of our bliss. Conversations Within ts 6/23/2012 (Camp Farrington AL)
