A source of trouble is our unruly minds. We can counter that by developing a warm heart. We need to effect an inner transformation, to understand that love and affection are a real source of joy.
Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.

Friend: Look, I know you're disappointed, but we should at least have one drink.
Me: *wearing flippers, a wetsuit and a snorkle* I'd like to leave, please.
Human beings are social animals and it is love that brings us together, while anger drives us apart. To live more peacefully and joyfully in our day to day lives, we need a warm heart.
Hey, did one of you tell Stanley I have asthma? Because I don’t, and if it gets out the won’t let me scuba.
If I can’t scuba what’s this all been about? What am I working towards?
