A Reframing of Creativity, Beauty, Happiness, Closure, Empathy and Design

Beauty is just an occurrence within you.
Multiple instances in time-space.
A combination of emotion-feelings.
A pleasant surprise; an unexpected association.
Creativity.

Beauty occurs only in moments of Creativity.
Happiness occurs only in moments of Beauty.

Closure is achieved through meditation.
Empathy is achieved through expression.

Happiness occurs in Closure because there is discovery of Beauty.
Happiness occurs in Empathy because there is validation that that Beauty exists in others.

In this way, Empathy is inextricably tied to a greater form of Closure.
A validation-closure, rather than a discovery-closure.

Empathy strives for the solidification of Beauty within yourself.
Design is, fundamentally, a pursuit for Empathy.

Design is THE medium that facilitates both Empathy and Closure:
The Happy user discovered Beauty in a Design.
The successful Designer achieved validation of the reality of the Beauty in his/her design

So Design your Life!
Only if you want to be Happy.
