What if Happiness is Inherited?

The Happiness Gene - Is it Inherited? What if happiness is inherited? A study of over a thousand sets of twins -- identical and fraternal -- seems to indicate that happiness is composed of a genetic component and other items such as relationships, health and career. Potentially this could have cultural implications for how euthanasia is viewed, the legalization of certain drugs, genetic research and for care givers such as counselors, pastors, social workers, etc. The message of hope in Christian Gospel becomes that much more important. Having hope is different than happiness and quite possibly much more important. Christ never promises us happiness but he gives us hope. With God all things are possible. The empty tomb stands as a testament to His power, greatness and that He alone has the final word in life and death.
