The sense of living is something no one managed to answer.That answer you will find on your last day when you will stop and think about what you did all of your life and you will find what your life ment.
The sense of happiness is that you will search all of your life for it and you will go through alot of pain so that once you will find true happiness you will thank God you found it

the meaning of life and happiness, and the sense of being alive, are what you make it, define it as ,,,
to me, the meaning of life is to live it,,,, to use what we are given, our bodies and minds and spirit,,,,, to learn /grow/develop, during our time here on this earth
what gives me a sense of living, as opposed to just being alive, and happiness, is doing these type things
but what brings you meaning or happiness might be different
you might not need the mind/body/spirit to be developing and yourself working on all three to be happy,,,,,,but i do, while small things may bring some happiness, when i feel out of "sync" in one area, i am not happy at my core

Catholics believe the meaning of human life and the way to true happiness is to know and love God.

With love in Christ.

The word "life" and its historic meanings have existed in recorded culture for at least fifteen hundred years. The actual word "life" in English can be attributed to the word "lif" used in Old English and Old Saxon meaning- life, body.

The word is linked to the emergence of a religious and social philosophy of European Celtic mythology (around 550AD) that believed human beings possessed a special "quality of life", that vanishes at the point of death. This has often been described as the "essence of life", or the "fifth essence" after fire, water, earth and wind. "Losing" this essence has therefore been historically linked to human death for at least fifteen hundred years.

Prior to this period (550AD), there does not appear to be corresponding words in either Ancient Latin or Greek. This supports the argument that the word lif was created in both a social and religious (metaphysical) context.
It is no surprise then, that the word "lif " was quickly associated with another philosophical belief that all humans possess a special spirit called the "soul".

Philosophers (around 1350AD) speculated that this essence is derived from the presence of the "soul", which at the point of human death leaves the body. The belief of the soul leaving the body at death precedes the concept of the essence of life by at least one thousand years (around 600BC for the first writings on the concept of Soul).

Then around 1650, Renne Descartes published a historical work that for the first time provided a scientific basis for proving that human beings are aware and self aware. It was Descartes that wrote the now famous self aware proof of existence "I think, therefore I am."

In the past three to four hundred years, the historical usage of the word "life" has been extended to describe a wider quality which all plants and animals on Earth possess before a the state of death. Interestingly, this broadening of the definition of life has almost a direct correlation to the advancement of science into atomic and biologic areas. Everytime science has proven that more objects in the Universe share similar qualities to humans, the philosophical defintion of life has appeared to widen around ten to twenty years after the discovery.

In the last sixty years, a further attribute to what is "life", has been assigned being the quality of awareness. Therefore, almost all modern interpretations on the meaning of life includes as part of the definition of life a state of "awareness".

The historical development of the word "life" and the awakening of humanity

That humanity fifteen hundred years ago recognized a special quality of being human and classified it as lif is the beginning of an amazing journey that has as its destination-today. That Descartes linked the unique quality of being human "life" as being definable through awareness " I think etc." is equally important.

Since the emergence of the word "life" fifteen hundred years ago, we have seen the growth of the word, to mean that all things in the Universe possess this same special essence, which we can openly define as both awareness and life meaning the same thing.

Therefore, the words life and awareness, life and awareness of matter, life and the Universe are all wholly interchangeable. By the modern "evolved" definition of life- everything in the Universe is very much alive. Only levels of unique self awareness change. Awareness as a whole never dies, only grows.

That we have reached this expanded definition of life now, at the beginning of the 21st century is a profound philosophical event as significant as any recent scientific discovery or cure for a disease. The awesome importance of humanity culturally permitting the expanded definition of life (that the Universe is alive) is not yet fully comprehended by 20th Century thinking philosophers or religious leaders. It has literally paved the way to the opening of understanding of what is awareness and Unique Collective Awareness.
