About This Quote
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside. Happiness, like everything else in life, must be found in the present moment.
We can never know if we are happy or sad, good or bad, until we experience the particular situation in question. Each moment can be our last, but also our first.
