Scripture: The Dhammapada 197-200

Ah, so happily we live,
    Without hate among those with hate.
Among people who hate
    We live without hate.

Ah, so happily we live,
    Without misery among those in misery.
Among people in misery
    We live without misery.

Ah, so happily we live,
    We who have no attachments.
We shall feast on joy,
    As do the Radiant Gods.


It is not easy to live happy lives among sadness, misery, hatred, etc. but it can be done. Mainly, we need to awaken our spiritual facilities so we can tell what is truly real from what is illusion.
