That's what I was told years ago. But I think I've figured it out. These are the basis of happiness, pure happiness within our self. We need all three to be one for this pure happiness.
Live: you may think that this meaning is clear, but it's not. The meaning is not clear; well, I guess it is, but don't take it in it's literal sense. It's more of a theoretical meaning. Like, try new foods, attempt a death-defying stunt, love someone more than you thought possible. And, please, stop and smell the roses along the way. Yes, it's another theoretical meaning, but I'm not going to tell you it's meaning. I know you're all smart enough to do that yourself. Live. Live happily ever after.
Laugh: Sure, laugh at the child who's splashing in the water. But don't just laugh at him. Learn to laugh at yourself. Truly laugh at the silly things you do. Not because you feel like you have to because you want to be included, but because you'll be yourself. You'll be able to live happily. See, I told you these three need to be one.
Love: It goes in many senses; love yourself, others, animals or possessions. But the greatest of these is love yourself. Love yourself above all others and then you will be truly happy. You cannot be truly and completely happy until you love yourself. Love is the greatest of these three "L-words".
Without love, you cannot laugh. Without love you cannot live. Without truly living, you cannot laugh. You need to accomplish all three of these things to be truly happy, they intertwine within each other. Stop and smell the roses once in a while. Be happy. Live. Laugh. Love.
