Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of
the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being
shared. Buddha
To have a happy life is to live with love and release fear. Human
beings are primarily motivated by two underlying emotions, love and
fear. These two extremes influence every aspect of our lives. Fear is
situated at one end of the spectrum while love is at the other end.
On an economic and societal scale we can see that entire industries
are dedicated to and thrive on fear. Great masters understand that
one who lives life through love can conquer all. Masters know
that they have no need for approval, they are not attached to
external forces or things, they understand that happiness,
compassion and love must be manifested within.
