What gives us utmost pleasure as human beings?

Love - to feel like we belong

A sense of inner harmony - a sense of rightness, justice, peace, joy. Inner peace.

An experience of the sublime (awe-inspiring), encountering something greater than yourself (sometimes containing an element of fear), feeling small, learning and seeing the world for its granduer and greatness.

Beauty

Something that points to symbolic and greater significance: containing symbolic meaning. Transcendance (above and beyond the limits of material (physical experience), things that point to transcendant significance and purpose - eg. marriage, worship etc.
