Several days ago, I delivered a speech in another auditorium and said: human happiness can only exist on moral basis. The lack of morals is incompatible with happiness. Why is it incompatible? The answer is very simple: God wanted it to be this way, because He created a free and sensible person, not an animal. There are no morals among animals, although they do have a certain behavior pattern concerning physiological cycles of animal body. Sometimes watching their behavior we are surprised to see such justice that exists in the animal world. We are amazed at a mother’s love for its baby or at such readiness of a small bird to protect its nestling and to attack a human or a big animal. We declare it is not morality, it is a mechanism, including biological, that God has created. Some time passes and the animal loses maternal instinct and the love for its baby disappears. But people have a concept of morality. If we follow its standards, we have the potential of happiness. If we destroy these standards for ourselves, we lose this potential for becoming happy. His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia
