Our Life – To like to live

Do we like our life? Do we find it good that we live? When we experience life as good, we also discover many things that speak to us and warm our hearts: perhaps music, sports, art, collecting stamps, pets, friends, books, an inspiring topic, a film, a play – hopefully also our professional or pedagogical activity. When we, or children, sense that a person or a theme fulfils us, we enter into relationship with that person or theme, invest time, and seek closeness. In doing so, we learn to turn toward someone or something. This nurtures our joy in life and lets us experience our life as valuable – as a basic value.
