Gateway to Happiness
We
are constantly encouraged to reject what is unpleasant, disappointing
or difficult. 'What's all this suffering? Let's be happy! Have fun!' But
our suffering is not our enemy. It is only through a relationship with
my pain, my sadness, that I can truly know and touch the opposite—my
pleasure, my joy, and my happiness.
