Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

Basically, a human being is a social animal. So, if you create some short moment of happiness for people, you get deep satisfaction.

Nothing comes into being without a cause and when all the conditions are created, there is nothing that can prevent the consequence.

It is important to understand that counterproducti ve actions of body, speech and mind do not arise of their own accord, but spring up in dependence on our motivation. Faulty states of mind give rise to faulty actions. To control negative physical and verbal actions, we need to tame our minds.

As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, follow some religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be happy.

By developing a sense of concern for others' well-being, then no matter what others' attitudes are, you can keep inner peace.

The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger.
