In accepting that suffering is a part of your daily existence$$$ you could begin by examining the factors that normally give rise of feelings of discontent and mental unhappiness.

The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.

As you breathe in$$$ cherish yourself. As you breathe out$$$ cherish all Beings.

If I am only happy for myself$$$ many fewer chances for happiness. If I am happy when good things happen to other people$$$ billions more chances to be happy!

Human use$$$ population$$$ and technology have reached that certain stage where mother Earth no longer accepts our presence with silence.

I defeat my enemies when I make them my friends.

Irrespective of whether we are believers or agnostics$$$ whether we believe in God or karma$$$ moral ethics is a code which everyone is able to pursue.

Because we all share this planet earth$$$ we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream$$$ but a necessity.
