It's hard because so many of us are caught up in self-gratification.
Based off the Book, "Healing the Culture: A Commonsense Philosophy of Happiness, Freedom, and the Life Issues" by R.J. Spitzer S.J. Phd.
"Four Levels of Happiness:
Level 1: Immediate Gratification. Objective is to Maximize pleasure and minimize pain. Characteristics: Obligation is to self alone. No desire for common, intrinsic, or ultimate good. Lack of self worth, fear of tangible loss/harm, boredom. Gratification sought is immediate.
Level 2: Personal Achievement/ Ego. Objective: Ego centeredness, be better than, gain advantage. Characteristics: Promotion of self is primary; personal power and control are key. Jealousy, fear of failure, contempt, isolation, loneliness, and cynicism. Gratification sought is short - term.
Level 3: Good Beyond Self. Objective: Do good beyond self. Characteristics: Principles inclued justice, love (charity), and community. Intrinsic goodness is an end in itself. Decisions are focused onthe greater good. Gratification sought: Long-term.
Level 4: Ultimate Good. Objective: Participate in giving and receiving ultimate meaning, goodness, ideals, and love. Characteristics: Good is ultimate, Principals include ultimate Truth, Love, Justice, and Beauty. Gratification sought is eternal.
Majority of society is Level 1 & 2 ... a few in 3 ... very few in Level 4(Saints). Love is simply Charity ... "Totus Tutos"

It's all down to interpretation. My life is, by current necessity, simple and frugal. The love I wish to share, because it has finally been awakened in me, is deep and abundant. Not complicated...
