On a supernatural level, ultimate happiness is found only in which?

• A. Happiness derived from wealth
• B. Happiness found in social status
• C. God
• D. Freedom from responsibility

Answer: (C)

True happiness on a supernatural level is found in God because only God is infinite, uncreated, and the source of all goodness. Humans are made for communion with the divine, and that deepest longing cannot be fully satisfied by anything created—wealth or social status are valuable in earthly life but finite and unstable, while freedom from responsibility is an escape, not a fulfillment. God, as the end of all love and the giver of eternal life, alone fulfills the soul’s deepest desire. In Christian thought, the beatific vision—seeing and sharing in God’s life—constitutes the ultimate happiness that lasts forever, beyond any temporary pleasure created goods can offer.
