If you love, life is lovable everywhere. If you hate, life is hateful everywhere. If you are grateful, everywhere is an opportunity to be grateful. If you grow, everywhere can be growth. It is not the world that chooses you; it is you who chooses this world. Since there is nowhere to hide, why not just be silly and happy? Since there is nowhere to escape, why not be joyful? Since there is no pure land, why not cultivate inner calm? Since wishes do not always come true, why not let go and be at peace?
