All of us want to be happy, all the time. But we are always thinking about things and people that make us unhappy. The price that we pay to find happiness is happiness itself. Buddha says ‘All that we are arises with our thoughts, with our thoughts we make the world.’ Truly said, we need to work on our thought system rather than making world conform to our wishes.
But it is not easy to change ourselves too. We have been programmed for years to respond in a certain way once we receive a similar stimulus all the time. Then how do we find happiness? Do we find another stimulus? or do we change the programme?
I feel once we understand our limitations of pyschology and how hard is it to change the programme within us, we become more tolerant of others because we realise how difficult it is to change anyone.
Yet you can't say you are happy, but you start looking for signs of happiness.
