Yeah, I just answered this on the other thread, but I'd rather answer it again here. The other thread gives me a headache now.

I believe in happiness - or, rather, the potential for and value of happiness. My wife makes me happy. I believe seeking healthy kinds of happiness is the most worthwhile thing you can do. Yes, I use words like "love" to describe my relationship with my wife, and who knows, I might even continue to be with her someday even if my time with her stops being happy, and maybe that will be love. I also desire to make my wife happy (which also happens to make me happy), and not totally in some mutual exchange-of-happiness way, so maybe that's love. It's all rather wishy-washy and personal, which is why it's stupid to talk about. Talking about it doesn't make either of us have more or less of it.

I don't "make more of life" because I don't believe life has base status to "make more of". I make more of my life than most people. I make more of my life than the base assumption about what you're supposed to make of life held by most people. But I imagine that's not what you're talking about.
