Interesting concept of happiness

However, Christian philosophers and theologians coined perhaps the most interesting concept of happiness, promising it to those who meekly accept the current morality, the power (because it comes from God) and everything should worship an exemplary Christian. This happiness is the worship of power and God allowing the sacrifice of a temporary inconvenience for a future of bliss in afterlife existence. Such happiness can be earned through renunciation of worldly goods, a variety of vows, finding in "freedom of faith", dedicating his life to serving others. This interpretation of "go to a more perfect and happy" world of prayer and Ministry, gave many people the opportunity to achieve great power, since the monasteries owned a fairly large wealth. It was a peculiar path to happiness through the attainment of power over the souls of men.
Thus, we can say that the above views about happiness are not happy by themselves. On the contrary, "real happiness is possible, with the precondition that the person taught himself to be independent as possible from external benefits, and to find joy and pleasure in the approximation to the highest good". (Guseinov A. A., Apresyan R. G. Ethic. - M., 1998. - S. 302).
