“I think we all mistake certain things for happiness. I think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. We use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.” ThinkingTryingLongUseCertainPleasureMistakeAchieveComfortProfoundEntertainmentHappyLastingCheerBeing HappyDeep ThoughtTrue HappinessCheer UpLong LastingProxy Author:Simon Pegg
“There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. We can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. On the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy.” MindKindTwoStatesHandsPainFormPleasureResultsMaterialsDevelopmentComfortComfortableTransformationEndureCalmHappySuperiorsUpsetLatterTemporaryMinorsBeing HappyRestlessDiscomfortFacilityThoroughSpiritual Transformation Author:Dalai Lama
