The fact that there is always a positive side to life is the one thing that gives me a lot of happiness. This world is not perfect. There are problems. But things like happiness and unhappiness are relative. Realizing this gives you hope.

Love and compassion benefit both ourselves and others. Through kindness to others, your heart and mind will be peaceful and open.
