Happiness Follows from Loving One Another Which Follows from Valuing One Another

When we love another, that means we wish for them to be happy and not suffer*.  It is the value we see in someone that leads us to love them.  In the beauty of our diversity, each and everyone of us has the potential to make the universe more rich and beautiful.  Hence, there is value in all of us on this planet. And, so, if, by the grace of God, we can see the value in everyone, we will love everyone. The happier we are, the more beautiful our universe is.  The more beautiful our universe, the happier we are.  This circle strung with love is God's gift of happiness.

Blessed be God to us all.

Physical, Mental, Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual

Who we are consists of the physical, mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual, all of which are equally important facets of who we are. They all contribute to how we perceive and interact with the universe. 

• The physical, the body, is what we use to interact with the universe. 
• The mental, the ability to perceive and interpret, makes the universe real and understandable to us.
• The emotional, feelings, are how we react to the universe. 
• The intellectual, thoughts, are how we make deductions and decisions about the universe. 
• The spiritual, values, are our relationship with the universe.
