It always makes me wonder to see how the world lives in relative happiness while they are so close to doomsday and destruction. I used to ponder regarding why God allows them to have a sense of enjoyment instead of grinding their noses to the ground. I can think of two reasons why it is so. Firstly, the world itself is a form of deception and it uses entertainment and amusement to lure the masses into a false sense of safety.
Secondly, God's nature shows us that He always desires happiness in His creatures and sorrow is contrary to the heart of God. Even when man is tainted with sin and under the wrath of God, God uses the good things in life to try to bring man to his senses and make him realize that the source of all goodness is God. Man is given a chance to acknowledge that the good things in his life is because of God and all that he needs to do is to yield to this good God to find everlasting joy instead of just fleeting happiness.
