[quote=BlazingDragon]A man said to the Buddha,''I want happiness''.
Buddha said, first remove the ''I'', that's ego,
then remove the ''want'', that's desire.
See now you are left with only happiness.

When you search for amusement, you will end up harming yourself.
But when you search for other's amusement, you will have true happiness.[/quote]

I love that quote, thank you for bringing it up. Not everyone is as well adjusted as the Buddha was though, most of the time keeping it simple brings me to a state of serenity I just cant ignore. Oh the power of the human mind, its a wonderful thing.
