The criteria for happiness and the meaning of life of a modern person must correspond to the achievements that are obtainable in the process of their genuine self-realization.
The thought of possible human extinction and the disappearance of its great creations and astounding culture is profoundly saddening. Therefore, achievements toward securing its reliable future are an essential part of happiness and the meaning of life for every individual.
Whether consciously or instinctively, in fact, everyone wishes for a bright future: for their children, descendants, and future generations; for their own creativity, goodwill, and beauty; for the preservation of universal culture and life as a whole. Such a prospect presents a real opportunity to enhance the happiness of people and all that has been created. Therefore, the issue of a reliable common future, even long-term, is associated with the questions of happiness and the meaning of personal life, and it is something that one cannot and should not ignore.
Self-realization is the complete realization of an individual's potential: spiritual-moral, intellectual-creative, and emotional, during which they reveal and actualize their human virtues and professional abilities.
When you genuinely notice the development and manifestation of human virtues in yourself and affirm your purposefulness for self-realization with the utmost objectivity, then true, sustainable life satisfaction is born.
Love — the fundamental basis of a fulfilling life. It is a feeling of deep sympathy, aspiration and affection. Nascent and developing through personal growth and awareness of important values, it is expressed through responsibility, respect, kindness, and creativity, the fruits of which bring happiness and multiply the love.
