Happiness is equal to one's capacity to love.
There's nothing bad; there's just making errors on the way back Home.
The facade is the ego. It is motivated by our seeking love. The only reward is frustration, as it is only by loving that one finds love.
Growth is transcending yourself, your habitual self, which is none other than ego.
Once you realize how effortless the highest way of life is, it takes tremendous effort to assume the opposite.
When one really loves, one can never be hurt.
