A Greater Purpose

I don't believe the purpose of life is just to be happy. Why would God take fourteen billion years to produce highly evolved sentient life forms that would ultimately develop the extraordinary capacity for self-reflective awareness, simply in order for them to experience happiness? It's my conviction that we are here for a reason, that there is a grand purpose to our presence in the universe, and that none of us are going to truly find what we are looking for unless we get over our misguided pursuit of personal happiness and connect with that greater sense of purpose-that unlimate reason for being.
