Happiness is overrated and something in the world can occur that will make you lose it anytime. Love, compassion, honour, holiness, integrity, that's something that stays.

You can live to be happy. I rather embrace the sadness of the poor, oppressed, suffering, starving, then constantly try to ignore them by wasting my time trying to be happy.

I won't make the excuse there is nothing I can do about it. Of course, without trying, nothing can be done.

And I won't just join some organization and think I performed my duty.

I sought wisdom because I wanted to know how I ought to live.

In that search, I've come to know I have a soul, I have a spiritual sword that fights me when I ignore it and strengthens me when I embrace, and my actions are alive. But I don't care if someone does believes that or not.

What is important to me, is that we stand up for what we believe is good and work hard for what we believe is good.

I always believed in the quest for the truth. I never thought it would burden me with such a heavy duty. But it has.

I sought wisdom, and it has filled me with sadness and heavy burden of a sense of duty.

Happiness is overrated. I want myself to be with the tortured. I want myself to be with the oppressed. All the time.

I want to remember the pain of the starving. I want that to motivate me.

I rather embrace sadness and that be my motivation.
