For me, it's health, family, friends and empathy.

Exactly.

The Meaning Of Lifetm doesn't have to be complicated. What's the use of complex teachings if no one can understand it, much less put it to practise?

Be content. That gives valid meaning to life, as I see it. Knowing this simple truth, however, is one thing. Living its reality, is another thing altogether.

For a start, what does it mean to "enjoy life"? Someone intent on self-gratification to the exclusion of all else is also enjoying life. But is he truly happy?
