Religion

I think it's simply impossible to enjoy anything, be it a sunrise or a wonderful job, if your heart is not at peace. I have seen people try many things to achieve this peace; to bring certain anxieties low; homeostasis, if you will. These include drugs, indulgence in activities (like listening to music), and so on. But these are all short term. For the effect of "homeostasis" to last, continuous supply of such stimuli is needed. Even then, sometimes life's stressors demand more than outside stimuli to reach base threshold. Happiness comes from within. I feel once you purify your heart and soul by making your peace with God, things are OK from there. So for me, religion works. It helps me enjoy life with all that it has to offer, by giving me the peace required to relish its beauty.
