But without getting too philosophical, is life a destination? You ask where it’s gotten us. I think you’ve kinda answered your own question (albeit with another question)

Well, since I believe that our mind is reincarnated after life... I also have learned that happiness is a state of mind that we can control. I also believe that our happiness does not come from external sources.

I know I’m not really answering your question, but how do we learn to accept love with no one to give it to us? Or accept gifts with no one to give it to us? Or grace with no one to forgive us?

What is love Andy? Not sure I understand what your point is to the above. Help me out here?

I loved being loved and loving in return.

Again, how does one tell if they are being loved? Is it the same as a mother or father loving a child? How does one recognize love?
