Something I learned today

Happiness is not something you can get from someone else.

No one can ‘make’ you happy any more than they can ‘make’ you angry.

You do that.

They’re just caught up in their own selves.

How you react to them is entirely up to you.

    Sounds like you’ve been studying your Dharma. I’ve been trying to teach myself this one:

    “Whether we are suffering at present or have suffered in the past, there is no reason to be unhappy. If we can remedy it, why be unhappy? And if we cannot, what use is there in being depressed about it? That just adds more unhappiness and does no good at all.”

    That’s a lesson I need to learn. Except, I’m so damn good at being unhappy. Why ignore a natural talent?
