"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can he dealt with."
Human
beings are social animals and we base our happiness on the quality of
the relations we manage to establish and maintain. Maybe not all the
relations we have are love based as you might understand love, but love
is not a basic feeling. Love is a secondary feeling made out of passion,
commitment and intimacy in various proportions. And that's the reason
why we cannot love twice the same.
For many people establishing
good and loving relations with others might be a problem. Though there
are lots of books and magazine articles that pretend to sell you love
and friendship recipes, the truth is that happiness has no universal
recipe. Some tips might work for some people, some for others, some in
one situation but not in another. Also, it is always good to remember
that in a relationship implies two people. There just isn't such a thing
as a one person relationship. Though happiness comes from within
sometimes our happiness seems to depend on other people's love and
acceptance. One thing to keep in mind is that it is most likely that
being loved by somebody does have as much to do with you as it has to do
with the other person. Finding our own happiness sources has to do only with our own person.
