-Ramana Maharshi
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything.

If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
