With happiness

HAPPINESSISNOWHERE.

Did you read it as 'Happiness is no where' or 'Happiness is now here'? Both of them are right, it just depends on whether you are more of a pessimist or an optimist.
The above excerpt is from an article which relates that "studies by America's Mayo Clinic in Minnesota have found that optimists live roughly seven and a half years longer than pessimists."

The Dubno Maggid tells a Mashal about a very wealthy man who returns from a long business trip. When he arrives in his home he realizes he left a suitcase at the train station. After describing the suitcase to his servant in great detail he asks him to go retrieve it for him while he goes to take a well deserved rest.
The servant comes back from the station breathing heavily leaves the suitcase at the front door. With sweat pouring down his brow proudly comes to tell his master that he brought the suitcase home. The master tells him that he brought the wrong suitcase. The servant says that he brought exactly the one described by the master and offers to bring it in to show him. The master says he doesn't need to because he definitely brought the wrong one. "How do you" asks the servant totally frustrated and exasperated. The master replied "You have sweat pouring down you face and my suitcase is not heavy. The one you struggled with cannot be mine."
Hashem tells Bnei Yisroel "V'Lo Oisi Karasa Yaakov, Ki Yagata Bi Yisroel"; when I see you struggling and laboring with the mitzvos it cannot be me that you are serving because my service is sweet and pleasurable.
This may explain the pasuk that says that all the horrible Klalos of the Tochacha come "Tachas Asher Lo Avadita Es Hashem Elokecha B'Simcha U'Btuv Leivav"; because you did not serve Hashem with happiness. While we may think that service of Hashem without happiness should earn us divine protection Hashem says, "absolutely not." If you do not find it joyful you must have some other agenda because if it were my service it would be a labor of love.
