LOVE

Yesterday we attended an excellent lecture about one of the feelings most marvelous and misunderstanding in our world. Love a word that has been explained for many people throughout the world's history. Fortunately our presenter was the perfect example of how a presenter should keep the attetion of the audience. I think that the Dr. Judith Castle in a magisteral way gave us a interesting information about some facets of the love that for me was new or that I understood in a different way. Interesting concepts such as philia, romance, agape, and eros were the concepts that she presented in her lecture to help us to understand a little bit that important issue.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart".

Helen Keller

HAPPINESS

As well has been wrote, the idea of happiness is one of more controvertial thing through all the times. The happiness is really complex; for example, for ones the money can represent happiness but for others could be a reason for concern and in some extreme cases can be reason to sadness.

The infomation given for Wiederman and Mayers in the pieces of information used for our summary, treats in a excelent way all the factor that can have influence to achieve the happiness.

From mi point of view, the happiness should be a combination of factors that allowing to the person cover all its needs; whether if these are affective, economic or social.
