[Correction] Text about science and happiness

Hi,

could you please tell me what is not correct in this text and how I could enhance it ? I underlined the parts I'm particularly not sure about.

Scientist's happiness

As an astronomer, my happiness firstly consists of contemplating the beauty of the the universe, physical as well as conceptual, its harmony and its unity. Indeed, physical laws apply everywhere, and phenomena are now thought to be the expression of one unique superforce.

Hapiness is also found when discovering something : it provides a great relief after a lot of work as well as the pride to experience the unknown.

However, science is not enough to make us happy : we need some inner transformation to reach serenity. Alone, science is neutral and do not express any moral values : this is why we need spirituality, which I think can still be based on science.

The planetary point of view provided by scientific history underlines that, beyond our differences, environmental issues concern all of us.

Thank you !Emotion: big smile

sorry - my mistake.

espouse |i'spouz|
verb [ trans. ]
1 adopt or support (a cause, belief, or way of life) : she espoused universal love.
