    The document discusses the basic human aspirations of happiness, prosperity, and their continuity. It defines happiness as a state of harmony and prosperity as having more than what is required. Ensuring the continuity of happiness and prosperity at all levels - as an individual, family, society, and nature - is proposed. Verifying proposals through natural acceptance and experiential living is suggested to understand and live in harmony at all levels of being. Frequently asked questions about the universality of happiness and whether pursuing one's own happiness is selfish are acknowledged. The document reflects on how discussions of prosperity have historically coexisted with accumulation and exploitation.
