| gptkbp:notableQuote |
"We can’t avoid suffering, but we can choose how to respond to it."
"Joy is a decision, a really brave one." "Joy is not simply the absence of suffering." "The purpose of our lives is to be happy." "The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes." |
