Happiness is not the most important thing.

Happiness is temporary.  There is always something around the corner that will get in the way of happiness.  Happiness will go away.

When the pressure of life is turned up and happiness is drained, hope filled relationships patiently depend upon each other for strength and work together to bring happiness back into their lives.  That is part of the journey…bringing happiness back.  Happiness is not the most important thing but staying on a journey together toward happiness is important.
