Similarity...........!!
In my search for reading more about philosophy of life, look what I found:
Bertrand Russell:
Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.

Isn’t it interesting to see that there is so much similarity between reasons which I posted as right things of the life: Love, Knowledge & human crisis matches exactly with Russell’s view? ;-)
Mine is a little modern approach you see;*::blink*
I have included the right job & reward for work also. :-)
