We are imperfect and yet we are beautiful. And our deepest happiness comes when we help one another, when we are strong enough to make that sacrifice for a fellow... because we are cut out of the same stuff, and the joy of others is our joy, too.<br /><br />(that probably sounds like hippie jargon, but I stand by it.)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829995518940049474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-31030171741072281432011-07-09T15:06:27.986-04:002011-07-09T15:06:27.986-04:00I think it depends on your definition of "div...I think it depends on your definition of "divine" though. I am not religious, but I believe in forces bigger than me. I do not pray to them or worship them, but respect the awesomeness of the world in which I am privileged to live. I think it is better to say that without a spiritual life, one is inhibited from true happiness, because of the sense of loss and lack of meaning. And that spiritual life can take many, many forms... I think happiness comes from loved ones. and knowing that we are here to do a job and make the lot better for our fellows, no matter how we contextualize that mission.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829995518940049474noreply@blogger.com
