What is happiness?, and where does it come from?

 Everyone seeks happiness. And there are many kind of happiness. But I think that happiness comes from the relationship with others.
Also sadness comes from relationship. That means how to make good relationship is crucial  for our life. 

               

 Let me tell you my experience.
I worked last 2 weekend in the Japanese Market  this February. When I was doing the cash register, a man came up to me, and asked to exchange his broken $10 to the nice one. I said "I don't think so, a bank cannot accepts that, but can you go to the customer service?" He started screaming and shouting so loud. So I exchanged it. But I felt so bad. I guess almost everyone has this kind of experience.

 There are negative or  positive spirit in the cosmos. There are good or better kind people and evil or worse kind of people in the world. We can say that the person makes others happy, he or she is good person, and the opposite case is bad one. I guess we can be sometime  good persons and sometime not.

 The most important point is how to react when we faced to the evil force.

 The night I found Rev. Moon's word ' Never fight, never take offence and just understand others.'
I have realized that this is the meaning of  "living for sake of others".

 Then finally I could find sympathy for him in my heart. And I got peace again in myself.

Life is too short to be selfish. ---<Rev. Moon>

I got a class in the college.

 I've become a student in the Middle town college.(SUNY) I am taking a class of US History.
It is very interested. The teacher was talking a lot about the Predestination. I guess US History cannot be explained without Bible. He mentioned a contradiction about the Predestination.

{Predestination, in theology, is the doctrine that all events have been willed by God, usually with reference to the eventual fate of the individual soul.^[1] Explanations of predestination often seek to address the "paradox of free will", whereby God's omniscience seems incompatible with human free will. In this usage, predestination can be regarded as a form of religious determinism; and usually predeterminism.}

Family is a school of love.

 I got a student ID 3days ago. Because  I am over 60. I got the tuition waver.
I chose the class of US History. Someone said that History is God story. I love any kind of history.
 Looking back of my past, it is a small herstory.
It is most grateful things and achievement in my life is that I have my family to love. When you read the below, you can understand how I got a precious things, and I hope everyone can get it.
Family is a school of love to attend the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth.

A fruit  comes forth from the condensing of elements after a tree has gone through the hardships of nature for twelve months of a year. Then how does love bear fruit? Because people have not known the answer to this question, this world has become wicked and family has broken down. Parents are not just somewhat necessary. From the view point of love, they are absolutely necessary. It is the same with children, with siblings, and with a wife or husband. A spouse is absolutely necessary. The family is where people are trained in their ability to love one another, and this love is realized in the Kingdom of heaven.

The family is absolutely indispensable to bring love into the universe. It is through learning in our families how to love our parents that we become capable of loving people of the same age as our parents. It is when we have the experience in our families of loving grandfathers and grandmothers that we become capable of loving people of their age. It is only when you love your husband's sisters that you can love people similar to them. That is the only way that you can come to love all people.

Questions about my life.

When I was 18, I had a lot of questions about my life.

Why were we brought into this world?
Why do we have to live?
Where are we heading?
We should not think that we were born by our own will.

We were born into this world, yet we do not know the motivation and purpose behind our birth.

We were born, but it was not because we chose to be born.
We were living, but it is not because we decided to live.
We will die, but it is not because we decide to die. ~Rev. Moon~

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was a college student, I was looking for an eternal goal which I was able to pursue until I died.
And I found it when I was 21.
Since that I have been on the road.
 I was 60 now.
Yes, life is a journey, it is sometime a beautiful weather, but sometime a heavy storm.
But I am so grateful to know my final destination.
It is important.

When you start off in a wrong direction, you will end up in a totally unexpected place.
Hence, when a ship sets out on the vast ocean, the captain should chart its course and follow the compass from the moment it first sets sail from port.

Yet many human beings do not even know their port of departure.

They have no compass and no sense of direction or knowledge of their final destination.

they have been wandering about, zigzagging here and their according to their desires. ~Rev. Moon~
