What does it mean to be happy in life? To love and to be loved. This I agree with Mei Ling. (: Of course by love, it can be in the micro sense between couples, parent and child. It can also be in the macro sense among friends for each other, mankind for one another, or just an affection/passion with something in life.

And when it comes to love, there are so many different and varied ways for people to express/show/portray it to the other party. Some ways are universally accepted and known, whereas there are just so many other ways which is unique to a person's culture, environment, character and age. And different people have varying standards of acceptance towards the way love is portrayed also.

Furthermore, the degree to which you love and are loved also makes a difference. And how people intepret or decipher the degree is different too. All of which can make love become no love, or even hatred in the worst case scenario. There is just so many things in this simple 4-letter word that most people say so easily many a times. I guess as per the same as all other things in life, it can be very complicating or made more complicated by humans. Well, there is also the other point of view that it can be simple too. ;)
