“To expect happiness without giving up negative action is like holding your hand in a fire and hoping not to be burned. Of course, no one actually wants to suffer, to be sick, to be cold or hungry — but as long as we continue to indulge in wrong doing we will never put an end to suffering. Likewise, we will never achieve happiness, except through positive deeds, words, and thoughts. Positive...

It All Comes Together
Next time someone asks me why I love Obama so much, I’ll tell them it’s because he televised a segment to wish Betty White Happy 90th Birthday. He said it was hard to believe she was really 90. “In fact, I don’t believe it. That’s why I’m writing to ask if you would be willing to produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate.”
