“Happiness and unhappiness inter-are. Happiness can be present only if unhappiness is present, and vice versa. It’s like the rose and the garbage. Without the garbage, there can be no rose. If there is no rose, there can be no garbage. If you have the know-how, you can transform garbage into roses. If you don’t have the know-how, the rose quickly turns into garbage. It’s a matter of skill. Skill is connected to mindfulness. By speaking, listening, communicating, observing, and acting mindfully, you become skilled at mindful living.”
