Beyond my comprehension.

Most of us can envision ourselves being happy for a few days or a week, if that. But a year of complete and sustained happiness? Impossible, we think, because we've never experienced it. We think of life under the Curse as normal because that's all we've ever known. A hundred or or a million years of happiness is inconceivable to us. Just as creatures who live in a flat land can't conceive of three-dimensional space, we can't conceive of unending happiness. Because that level of happiness is not possible here on the fallen Earth, we assume it won't be possible on the New Earth. But we're wrong. To properly envision Heaven, we must remove from our eyes the distorted lenses of death and the Curse.

From Heaven, by Randy Alcorn
I wonder if I could conceive of being happy for an hour straight...and it's not because of lack of blessings, but of appreciation and a thankful heart. I wonder, is this an American thing, or a human thing...because I've been both all my life and can't differentiate the two.
