Why love and happiness? They represent what I strive to get out of life every day that I live. Love is the most important tool needed for living a peaceful and stress-free life. Without love, I have nothing. My love for my family and friends and the rest of humanity give me the motivation to be the individual that I am. With love comes caring and sharing and respect for others. Once you learn to love, the only result can be total happiness. Even with the flaws of loving individuals who don't seem to give it back or pass it on, there is still this tingly feeling that I get daily knowing that I'm livng right and satisfied. I am very happy and content(deep inside) with my life and the way everything is placed in it.

Content is way better than being happy. For happy is only momentary, and contented is ongoing. Welcome to SG!

Hi. thanx for the comment. love is certainly a powerful emotion, and to live deprived of it most certainly could lead to madness. it has all the effects of a potent narcotic. it can impair judgement and be misleading,but also provide great joy and happiness. not unlike a euphoric state. love for mankind in an altruistic sense is vital for peace and harmonious existence and is a humanist ideal. "live LIFE for LOVE, and love life to LIVE." -------I like the sound of that practice idea, perhaps next time I'm in the greater Chicagoland area. cheers!
