Being Happy for Others
~ The art of Rejoicing ~
Sunday 6 December 2009
In these modern times it is difficult for anyone to find much joy or happiness, let alone the pure happiness that comes from true inner peace, so why do we get jealous when others find happiness? Jealousy is entirely senseless because it neither decreases the other person’s good qualities and happiness, nor increases our own. Rejoicing, however, has the opposite effect. It creates the cause for us to attain the good qualities and happiness that others are experiencing, and therefore enables us to experience a more joyful life.
