How to be Happy
from Goshen Baptist Church Hosted by B. Jacob Fowler
The poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe explores themes of grief and the pursuit of happiness. The narrator, grieving for Lenore, finds solace in books until a raven's haunting refrain of "nevermore" symbolizes persistent sorrow. The pursuit of happiness, often perceived through societal norms, proves elusive and leads to disappointment, revealing a deeper spiritual longing. True happiness is seen as tied to one's relationship with God, emphasizing humility and dependence on divine grace rather than superficial achievements.
