The easiest way to cultivate happiness today

We often ask, ‘what’s wrong?’  Doing so, we invite painful seeds of sorrow to come up and manifest. We feel suffering, anger, and depression, and produce more such seeds. We would be much happier if we tried to stay in touch with the healthy, joyful seeds inside of us and around us. We should learn to ask, ‘what’s not wrong?’ and be in touch with that.”

Thich Nhat Hahn

  1. Mostly.

    Or maybe he really does mean always and only. In which case, something —- although I’m not clear what — doesn’t sit right.
