Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are, it solely relies on what you think.
—Buddha (via ayo-tayo)

Most of our so-called reasoning consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do.

“I’m suffering for a love that’s not worth it.” We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we recieve. We suffer because our loe is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.
But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come tto spiritual experience. Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of ther era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called “the madness of santliness.” They have been joyful—-because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.
