Happiness & Self-Centeredness

In this world, all qualities spring from preferring the well-being of
others to our own, whereas frustrations, confusion, and pain result
from selfish attitudes. By adopting an altruistic outlook and by
treating others in the way they deserve, our own happiness is assured
as a byproduct. We should realize that self-centeredness is the source
of all suffering, and that thinking of others is the source of all
happiness.
–His Holiness the Dalai Lama XIV, from The Dalai Lama’s Little Book of Inner Peace (Element)
