<p align="left"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Elephant;">The Worst Thing about the Pain of Being Human</span><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p>
<p><span><font face="Times New Roman">            </font></span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Our pain of being human is always with us in any situations of life. It is present whether we are in sorrow or in relax moment. This is the worst thing of our pain that it doesn’t<span>  </span>kill us in order to be free from it. We experience the pain as far as we live, whenever we face a new challenge, when we are in the process of loving, and when we find ourselves out of safe area.</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"></span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"></span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"><span>          </span>There are some simple classic ways to recover from this suffering: making friend-relationship, sleeping, keeping ourselves busy, being relaxed and playful. Nevertheless, actively loving could better in handling<span>  </span>the pain, because through this we give but at the same time we receive even more. Practicing love makes us feel better and lead us to real love as well.</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">Being in real love is to accept and to come to our worst human ache instead of suppressing or avoiding it. Through that pain<span>  </span>we try to manage ourselves so that we are free from pain domination. We can do more with our pain<span>  </span>than suffer it. If we manage to face this suffering, our pain will grow less as our heart grow larger.</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>

<p align="left"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Elephant;">Happiness Seems Simple Enough</span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span>          </span></span></p>
<p></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span>   </span></span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">In fact happiness is not far from us as long as we can<span>  </span>open ourselves to create and accommodate it in a proper way. Once we do something noble and worthwhile it comes by itself. Of course happiness is not a commodity that can be directly sought and bought in a store. The real happiness is integrated, remains deeply in our heart and leaves peace in us.</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"><span> </span>One of the surest paths to happiness is through getting close to others. However, some people still keep distance from others because they realize that a relationship opens grieves as well. Without testing the pain in loving we will never realize the meaning of love, true happiness. Running away from others likewise just creates alienation and loneliness in which people grow cold.</span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"><span> </span>Happiness comes up in our relationships when we work in a respectful and loving way. By this we learn how to give and to receive in return.<span>  </span>Intimacy is not a kind of thing that we can easily find if we want. On the contrary, it demands, again, trust and giving ourselves to those we love. Love encourages us to do things that we don’t even think that we can do. This what people call </span><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Eras Demi ITC';">“the power of love.”</span></em></strong></p>
