Home » World As It Is » Many atheists are living happier lives than theists. At least that is what I think. Believers seek help from divine forces to live a happy life, while atheists live their lives on their own strength and do not take any help from divine powers. Why is this so? Is the concept of divine powers an illusion or are human efforts more powerful than the power of a deity🤔?
But who said that atheists are happier. None is happy upon earth except one who has mastered his ego and conquered his desires, – believing in God or not believing in God hardly matters as far as happiness goes. It is only those who seek the Divine and have surrendered themselves completely to Him are happy. Or else those who seek true knowledge and by the power of knowledge have burnt away their desires and reduced the ego to ashes.
