"Human it is to have compassion on the unhappy." Giovanni Boccaccio
There is pervasive unhappiness in the world simply because we are confused about what makes happiness last. The poor man believes bread, water, and education will make him happy until he discovers it is a fundamental human right. The successful man thinks money and fame will bring happiness until he finds that it is a fleeting illusion. The enlightened man has compassion for the poor and successful man because he understands that lasting happiness comes from overcoming obstacles that make us seem separate and keep us apart. One Kind Word can bring lasting happiness.
