Happiness is when you have something with you that makes you feel happy. Joy is when you do not need anything in particular to feel happy.

Happiness is to carry the obligation to be happy. Joy is when you are no more obligated to be happy.

If these basics are not clear, then it is inevitable that life will be misspent. One would be chasing stuff that one does not really even want.

How to survive pain || Neem Candies

I had to unlearn a lot of things, and I am grateful to all the sources—the books, the people and the experiences that helped me unlearn. And I am grateful to that within me that had the courage to unlearn. A lot of unlearning is needed. I often say you need to learn love. By that what I mean is that you need to unlearn false love. And it’s one mighty task to unlearn false love, transactional love, the transactional love that both biology and society teach you.
