If one can find an absolute guarantee of security, then one has fear of nothing. If one can be certain of anything, then fear ceases wholly, fear either of the present or of the future. Therefore, we are always seeking security, consciously or unconsciously, security that eventually becomes our exclusive possession. Now, there is physical security which, in the present state of civilization, a man can amass through his cunning, his cleverness, through exploitation. Physically, he may thus make himself secure, while emotionally he turns for security to so-called love, which is for the most part possessiveness; he turns to the egoistic emotional distinctions of family, of friends, and of nationality. Then there is the constant search for mental security in ideas, in beliefs, in the pursuit of virtue, systems, certainties, and so-called knowledge.

So we entrench ourselves continually; through possessiveness we build around ourselves securities, comforts, and try to feel assured, safe, certain. That is what we are constantly doing. But though we entrench ourselves behind the securities of knowledge, virtue, love, possession, though we build up many certainties, we are but building on sand, for the waves of life are constantly beating against their foundations, laying open the structures that we have so carefully and sedulously built. Experiences come, one after another, which destroy all previous knowledge, all previous certainties, and all our securities are swept away, scattered like chaff before the wind. So, though we may think that we are secure, we live in continual fear of death, fear of change and loss, fear of revolution, fear of gnawing uncertainty. We are constantly aware of the transiency of thought. We have built up innumerable walls behind which we seek security and comfort, but fear is still gnawing at our hearts and minds. So we continually look for substitution, and that substitution becomes our goal, our aim. We say, "This belief has proved to be of no value, so let me turn to another set of beliefs, another set of ideas, another philosophy." Our doubt ends merely in substitution, not in the questioning of belief itself. It is not doubt that questions, but the desire for securities. Hence, your so-called search for truth becomes merely a search for more permanent securities, and you accept as your teacher, your guide, anyone who offers to give you absolute security, certainty, comfort.

That is how it is with most people. We want and we search. We try to analyze the substitutes which others suggest, to take the place of the securities which we know and which are steadily being eaten away, corroded, by the experience of life. But fear cannot be got rid of by substitution, by removing one set of beliefs and replacing it by another. Only when we find out the true value of the beliefs that we hold, the lasting significance of our possessive instincts, our knowledge, the securities that we have built up-only in that understanding can we put an end to fear. Understanding comes not from seeking substitutes, but from questioning, from really coming into conflict with traditions, from doubting the established ideas of society, of religion, of politics. After all, the cause of fear is the ego and the consciousness of that ego, which is created by lack of understanding. Because of this lack of understanding, we seek securities, and thereby strengthen that limited self-consciousness.

Life is time spent between birth and death, and what is the best way? We are fed with all kinds of dogmas, beliefs and rituals as kids, it does serve the mind that thinks on black and white terms, but after sometime we start seeking questions for which we have no answers. This is the emergence of our true personality, the wisdom of the past has no meaning to the problems of the present and future because what answered the questions for the past generation may not fit the present time.
Humans are basically dynamic, and they all have the capacity to change and grow, and give meaning to the experiences of the outer based on who and what we are from inside. We all seek to express ourselves in many ways. The best way to live our lives is finding these best expressions without allowing the outer world dictating our inner expressions, because each one is beautiful, the beauty is curshed when the energy to flower blocked. When the natural energy to bloom is blocked it is then that the negative energy thinks about destruction of that force that works as a block.

Believing in your expression and not allowing the ego to rule our judgements can be the best way to a good and happy life.
And to keep in touch with your self is to see reality in its naked form. As a kid you may be taught to think a certian way, eg, giving to the poor of your won community to go to heaven. But as an adult you feel that people are all people and you feel this rule really is against your expression of who you are, then we have all the right to express ourselves based on reality and reality is always real, it does not lie, its touches your core, If there is discrepency in who you are and what you do, then you are bound to be unhappy. The inner and the outer has to match. I dont think i can give a better answer than this, i have squeezed out my expressions to my definition of happiness in life and it has been my original answer not produced from my memory.

Do onto others what you want them to do to you in the future. If you sow goodness you will reap goodness. If you sow frustration, you will reap other people's anger and revenge. If you sow sympathy and compassion, you will reap nothing but love and affectionate recognition. Love everyone unconditionally, no matter what is their background. Results from good and noble actions are to be enjoyed in this life and births hereafter.

P.S: No man has ever had regret performing a generous, noble an honest action!

The One best way is to live happily and in the process let others live happily too. One can live happily only when you love others as much as you love yourself. And that means giving others what you would give yourself. And that also means giving others what they need at a time when they need. And this means sacrificing something of what you need when you need. When you decide to sacrifice, for the happiness and well-being of others, nothing is too big. Be content with what you have, and what you can get by such means that your conscience will never question.
Live a life of gratitude.
Whatever words you utter let them be sweet. Be merciful.
Tend towards God. Realize the God in you. Feel the presence of Godliness in you.
When you and I were born, we cried, as all around us smiled and rejoiced.
When you and I die, let us smile when others around us cry.
And that would be the best of way of living,
for,
we have only ONE life to live.

I live my life to the fullest extent possible. I live for me and my family, not for a god. I experience all that I can. I enjoy every minute I have becasue it could be my last. I know that there is no afterlife, so I may as well do everything while I can.

The best way of living is to do to others only what you would like /expect others to do to you..
This means not to do to others what you would not expect/like others to do to you.
There is absolutely no better way of living than this best way.
Religion , colour ,creed ,language , county caste , community etc shall have no place here in following this principle
