In this sermon, The Secret of Happiness, we learn "Negative goodness” can not and does not produce true blessedness. The Blessed Man knows that happiness is not defined by what you're against. Duty and happiness are vital acts, and must be products of vital principles. A life lived from a negative viewpoint of doing all that is right because it must be done. Not doing all that is wrong because it cannot be done, has a severely limited potential for fulfillment, peace or happiness.
