a person), not just only an emotion or a decision. We do
not choose happiness because we feel it, we do not
choose happiness because we need it but happiness is the
totality of who we are as human beings. Aside from that,
we must consider also the goods and sources of our
happiness.

example is love and friendship.

example is money

Whatever the source of our happiness right now, let us
see to it that it is real and meaningful.
SUFFERING

-is generally viewed as a state of feeling discomfort or pain.


It can come in the form of physical suffering when one
experiences bodily pain. Example, injury or it may be a
mental suffering when it involves our minds and emotions,
such as depression or loneliness. Humans as we are, we
normally experience pain and we often view it as necessary
to help as grow and become a strong person and find the
deepest meaning of our lives.
SUFFERING

In life, we experienced both happiness and suffering.


Whatever experiences we have, let’s make it sure that
it helps us lived the life worth remembering that we
could be a better version of ourselves. Life is a gift, live
it.
