A reader of this blog wrote me today. I feel she supplied her own answer, but let’s take a look at it. In her email she said:

I am young and attractive woman and I believe I deserve for happiness as any human being. What do you think is the most important in this life? I believe you’ll agree with me that LOVE is what we all are looking for…

I am eager to make my man happy, I am longing for the cozy evenings together where we cuddle on the sofa and whisper tender words…

I have a lot of interests in life like reading, cooking, associating with friends, visiting new places and learn everything new.

I think we all deserve happiness, and it is obvious that you feel love is the answer. If you feel this is the most important thing in life, then it is… in your life.

It should be noted that as you mature, sometimes these priorities have a way of changing. We may be completely unaware of these changes, until we are confronted by a question like yours, that gives us reason to ponder. I’m sure many younger people would agree with your reasoning, but for those who are older, we might have a different answer.

For some older people, the important thing in life, is the happiness and welfare of our children. We put that first, in our lives. I say some, because I understand there are parents out there who put their own happiness ahead of their children. These people might be more apt to agree with you.

I certainly don’t have all of the answers, but I know of an applicable quote that went something like, “The only constant thing you can count on in this life is change.” How you feel today, might not be how you feel tomorrow.
