Happiness - to be happy, open yourself up to others

05/30/2024

If you want to be happy, open yourself up to others. You will say that the people you meet in the street, in shops and at work are very uninspiring, and that in any case, if you tried to be friendly they would not understand you. That is true; there are some who will not understand. If you smile or greet them warmly, they will think, ‘What’s got into him? He’s not normal!’ But even though a few people are unable to understand you, there are so many who can! Besides, do we live only for the people we meet? No, we live for the whole of creation, visible and invisible, and throughout creation there are hosts of creatures who are capable of appreciating our love. That is what counts.*
