Is it possible to find happiness in faith? People today feel that it is impossible. People believe that it is what you have that can make you happy. If a person was to ask another person if it was possible to find true happiness in faith most people would say "no." People today have no faith or even hope that it is possible to be truly happy, unless you are excessively rich. Society believes that if you are successful with money you'll be happy with every aspect of your life. People today complain too much about what they do not want. People noticed in today's busier world that everyone has become materialistic or even nihilistic?

Pessimism and evil thoughts and action take place. Where everywhere a person goes they are bombarded with an advertisement. Even the logo on a car and the first thing a person might see's in the morning. Unfortunately spirituality, morals, values and individuality is being taken away and replaced with materialism, the superficial and "if the individual feels, the community reels!" (Brave New World). However, people miss an important point. It is that the happiness within that makes it a possible to be happy. So the question remains is it possible to have true happiness in faith? What is a faith or faith?
