In this
Episode we will begin looking at the relationship between love and
happiness. We will look in particular at one of the two
questions we ended with last time: How do you know when you
are in the flow of the Plan or Process of my suggested definition
of happiness? What is the everyday evidence we look to in
holding onto the hope of this approach to happiness? Several
episodes back, I was looking for an explanation of happiness that
would meet several demands. One was that this would be
accessible to all people. Two, that it would be durable through
difficult times. Finally, it would offer a more encompassing
worldview than the simple view "Love will make you happy" or
"happiness is moderation in all things." It is my hope that this
episode will show how these demands can be satisfied.
In the next
episode we will take up the last of my two questions,
how
do the different loves relate to my
suggested definition of happiness.
