Happiness

Let us live most happily
free from hatred in the midst of the hateful;
let us remain free from hatred
in the midst of people who hate.

Let us live most happily
free from dis-ease in the midst of the diseased;
let us remain free from dis-ease
in the midst of dis-eased people.

Let us live most happily
free from restlessness in the midst of the restless;
let us remain free from restlessness
in the midst of restlessness.

Let us live most happily
possessing nothing;
let us feed on joy
like the radiant Gods.

- Teachings of Lord Buddha in Dhammapada 15:1-4
