An email from my Mother-in-law
My dear sweet MIL (Mother-in-law) usually sends me very insightful emails. Among them are Insights from the Dalai Lama. Every day it seems to be exactly what I needed to hear. So, my dearest MIL, thank you for sharing such wisdom.
Insight from the Dalai Lama
“What irritates us in the first place is that our wishes are not fulfilled. But remaining upset does nothing to help fulfill those wishes. So we neither fulfill our wishes nor regain our cheerfulness. This disconcerted state, from which anger can grown, is most dangerous. We should never try to let our happy frame of mind be disturbed. Whether we are suffering at present or have suffered in the past, there is no reason to be unhappy.”
