can someone be absolutely happy on love alone? i wonder......

i was just wondering....can someone be absolutely happy on love alone?

i mean blissfully happy happy..... ?????

when i look around me and see the people around me...generally its a no. but then when i think about it, i'm like why the heck not????

Why can't someone be absolutely happy on love alone?

some possible answers are no money no talk, love doesn't pay the bills etc. and the only thing that stared right back at me - MONEY IS ROOT OF ALL EVILS.

I mean 50 years ago, our grandparents survived on minimal sums of money, grew their own food and reared their own meat. They only spent on luxuries when they absolutely felt they NEEDED to and they were happy. and generally if they were unhappy, it stemmed from the situation where someone couldn't do something for another person. It was always about contribution for or to someone else.

Fast forward to now, everything is about individuals. spas, salon, credit cards, house, cars, you name it - everything was about individuals and their worth to other people's eyes. I started thinking like this many years back, and now i'm wondering whether its the right thinking. Why is it that i need materialistic stuff to prove myself to others? why is it the car i drive or the house i live in is chosen based on how others will judge us and view us?

Of course, convenience and growing is definitely part of the plan, but why can't we do it without destroying all our traditional values and ethics? I'll be hard-pressed to name a few people that actually retain views from our forefathers. of course they are that handful of people but to what level? and why do they pick and choose only some rules that garners them "old fashioned" tags.

I think personally that it is love that makes us or breaks us. we are all humans but we behave as if we are better than our peers. even i have that attitude that i sometimes feel that i am better in so many ways. but when an actual situation happens, its not every damn day i perform to my expectation. someone that i totally underestimate will perform better than me. then i question myself, where did i get that idea that i was better? is it because i love myself too much that i can see my faults? i doubt that. or is it because i judge a person by how they carry themselves and deliver my verdict at the same time without taking the time to actually find out whether my verdict was right?

i think its the latter. i think we were given this opportunity to be on earth. we are just passerby s. we do not own anything here. everything is on loan. everything, including our body. so taking care of everything should be our duty, whether we like it or not.

And i think the only way we can do this is by loving and not judging. Even though it might be hard at first, it wouldn't hurt to say hello to people standing in the lift with you. it wouldn't hurt to smile at the guards that is guarding you when you sleep. it wouldn't hurt to give money to beggars on the street. we might say its a conspiracy, its a syndicate, its a ....anything that justify making us feel better.
