A happy or unhappy life is your own creation. Nobody else is responsible. If you remember this, you won’t find a fault with anybody.

A happy or unhappy life is your own creation. Nobody else is responsible. If you remember this, you won’t find a fault with anybody. You are your own best friend as well as your worst enemy. But sometimes unhappiness comes in our life without an invitation. Sometimes our very precious attachment leaves us and makes us unhappy. We forget that everything in this universe has a lifespan. Scientists say even the universe that we live in is inherently unstable and has a lifespan. At some point, billions of years from now it will change and reform into a different state.
“What is it that dies? A log of wood dies to become a few planks. The planks die to become a chair. The chair dies to become a piece of firewood, and the firewood dies to become ash. You give different names to the different shapes the wood takes, but the basic substance is there always. If we could always remember this, we would never worry about the loss of anything. We never lose anything; we never gain anything. By such discrimination we put an end to unhappiness. ~ The sutras
