Love gives meaning to our lives – as do friendship, or art or faith in God. These are factors of true happiness, of inner peace, of feelings of harmony, allowing meaning to our existence.

But there is the other side. There is the cruelty of life, the pain, the evil, not to talk of death. The unpredictability always hangs on our heads like a sword. It is the hidden tiger, ambushed and ready to attack us at any time.

Between these pendulums – lie the positivity, the happiness and meaning of life.

Giving is the greatest pleasure one can experience, life smiles at you when you give something to some one.
