About This Quote
It is my observations, though, that happiness limits the amount of suffering one is willing to inflict upon others. Happiness may be a fleeting emotion, but it can have a powerful effect on our actions. We often say that we do not want to cause suffering to ourselves or others, and we mean it. We all know that suffering is bad for us and for those around us.
When we experience suffering, we become more susceptible to depression and other negative emotions. But when we are happy, we generally think about others first and not ourselves. And this can make us kinder and more generous.
