Life and Relationship
How would you define "Life" if you were asked to? I was thinking about this and I came up with two simple definitions, which are related to each other.
Life is happiness; and
Life is loving yourself, loving others and loving God.
Life is loving yourself, loving others and loving God.
Both definitions are related because you can't be happy without loving yourself, loving others and loving God. A large book can be written just to break down this definition.
Loving yourself means you do the things that makes you happy, not just happy but also helps you grow and get better and more positive. It involves chasing your dreams, developing and using your natural talents and striving to have a better life tomorrow. The nice thing about your person is that you're Unique, with your own unique talents and abilities. Those talents and dreams you're working hard to achieve will not only serve the benefit of making you fulfilled or giving you a comfortable life, but they are also meant to benefit the world around you. That's where loving others comes in. It's just like using what you have to help you develop your world, creating a better world for yourself and others, and deriving happiness as a product of your work. For the part of loving God, you know that you can't love God if you don't love yourself and love others..
Love requires a "relationship". To love yourself, love others and love God implies you have a relationship with yourself, others and God.. Thus, there's no Life without a relationship and there's no happiness without a relationship (a positive relationship of course).
So, Life => Happiness => Relationship
A lot of us had forgotten this true definition of Life because the world has tried to give us a definition, and that definition isn't making the world better for anyone. I think it's good to remember the Life's true definition and be certain that we are truly Alive.
