The Importance of Love in the Search for Happiness

Love is the defining characteristic of a good life and the key to happiness. However, we often become transactional in our approach to love, expecting something in return for our actions. This attachment to helping others can create a fear that if we can't help anymore, we won't be loved. To overcome this fear, we must understand that love is not about ownership or transaction. It is about the flow of love and the acts of love that we express to others. Even if we can't physically help, we can still love others, and by doing so, we experience God's warmth and light within us.
