This article is based on research, that I conducted, preparing a thesis Fri Language of young people in the Polish language related to Light-Life Movement. In this paper I will discuss two of occupying a high position in the hierarchy of subjects: love and happiness. I used as a base material 85 surveys (divided into two parts) and 5 in-depth interviews conducted among the participants and organizers of the Light-Life Movement present at the summer retreat of the New Life Oasis of the second degree, on 26.06. - 12.07.2010 in the town of Tylmanowa (southern Poland). The research, I had done for a thesis showed that the language of young people belonging to the Movement or the related statements are characterized by innovation, tend to use idioms, correctness of language, often high style appeal to higher values, as well as the careful avoidance of everyday language and profanity. Analysis of axiological concepts of happiness and love reveals an attitude of “being” of the respondents.
