I think we work because we have to in a way.
I think many people are happy with out love, although i myself hate not being in love.
If you added health to love and happieness then i would say yes, they are all that matter.

This is all else and nothing more. If you can love you can be happy or if you are happy you can love and both go together or both are complimentary. One does not exist without the other like snow and coolness. Fire and light. |

I think we are all enslaved by the idea of happiness as the ultimate goal as if it were a permanent state. But happiness, true joy is trapped in a moment and it can be taken away very easily. Are we addicted to the idea of happiness? Do we perpetuate that idea by "trying to find happiness in the smallest thing"? How do you know when you're happy? How do you know when you're unhappy? Why is making yourself happy so important?
I don't know about love. I don't want to question it.
I like the Ho'oponopono prayer.
I Love You
Please forgive me
I am sorry
Thank you

In Sanskrit there's a way of saying this...
SatChitAnand - Truth is Consciousness of Bliss

Happiness is fleeting...but finding your inner joy is (ideally & potentially) lasting. And it seems to come from loving and honouring yourself and others...honouring the spirit within...

Well 7L... we may also feel happiness that is not dependent on what's happening. It just wells up for no reason at all... like joy... and like pure love.
