Today, I wish to discuss one of the reasons why I want to be like Jesus Christ.
Basically, Christ created our universe in accordance with the laws that govern the universe, like the law of gravity. Similarly, happiness is something that can be achieved- like creating a solar system - when certain laws are obeyed. As a physicist, I believe in absolute truth. Just because you don't know or believe in something that is true, it can still hurt you. Gravity is the easiest one to demonstrate. Just because someone does not believe in gravity does not mean they won't fall when they jump off of something.
Christ gave the command "Come Follow Me" in Luke 18:22 and I take that command seriously. Besides, I have learned through my own experience that it is only in His way that we find true relief and love. As mortals, we all get to chose what we want in life, but most of the time those things bring in grief and pain along with the temporary pleasure. I've seen that in my own life and only when Christ reached out and helped me did I figure out how it all worked (after I spent years doing the limited amount I could of trying to follow Him on my own). I now see it as a science we don't yet understand.

Now to clarify better what I meant by stating, "Jesus Christ was the only perfect person to ever live on this earth". Christ either learned or knew the laws of happiness when He came to earth as a mortal. He lived according to those laws perfectly for His entire life. Part of that was sharing with those around Him the way to be happy, which is why He took so much time to teach. Thus He was perfect in following the 'spiritual' laws of the universe. Hopefully this concept clears up what I meant in stating the Christ was perfect.
No matter what path we pursue in life, our object is to be happy- even if it is in the sadistic way. Obviously I'm not perfect in living the happiness laws, but I look to and study about Christ to better learn how to have happiness in my life. Even if I never amount to any of my aspirations and end up a janitor for the local school, I could still have happiness by studying and following Jesus Christ.
