Abstract

One of the preoccupations of human beings is to find the key to happiness. Neither consumption nor collectivism nor liberalism -among other ideologies that have reigned the last century- has granted happiness to man, he has forgotten that besides having primary necessities, he is a being in need for love. Human life, that is growing, is not reduced to immanence or growth inwards. The terminal patient or the newborn boy does not have a deep capacity for privacy, nor to receive and give love. That love allows him to find the sense of his own life. He who can only donate, extend and open love to others is called a persono Happiness must be found from itself and in relations with others.
