Transforming Misery
The difference between misery and happiness depends on what we do with our
attention. Do we, in the midst of water, look for something elsewhere to drink?
Transformation comes from looking deeply within, to a state that exists before
fear and isolation arise, the state in which we are inviolably whole just as we are.
â€"Sharon Salzberg, from Loving-Kindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness
(Shambhala)
