““Would you accept something like this: In exchange for your lifelong unhappiness and misery, the whole world will be happy and prosperous! Would you accept such a sacrifice? If you say you will, it means you are a great self-sacrificing person! But if you say 'I can't, because everyone should be happy without exception', you understand the concept of justice very well, because if even one person remains unhappy in the world, justice will not be done!””
![“The key to your happiness is to...own who you are, own how you look, own your family, own the talents you have, and own the ones you don't. [Otherwise] you'll die searching, you'll die bitter, always feeling you were promised more. Not only our actions, but also our omissions, become our destiny.” quote by Abraham Verghese](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c09/abraham-verghese-1533_destiny_the-key-to-your-happiness-is-to-own-who_951601.jpg)
![“It is in everybody's interest to seek those [actions] that lead to happiness and avoid those which lead to suffering. And because our interests are inextricably linked, we are compelled to accept ethics as the indispensable interface between my desire to be happy and yours.” quote by Dalai Lama](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/17b/dalai-lama-89_accepting_it-is-in-everybody-s-interest-to-seek-th_321168.jpg)
