Happiness as the Ultimate Goal
Happiness is not just a mental state, but the ultimate goal and fulfillment of rational creatures. It is the final end that completes and perfects us, and is not a matter of luck or chance. True happiness is found in God, who is the ultimate good that fulfills and satisfies our deepest desires. It is a natural desire of every person, and is achieved through virtue and the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love.
