This is how the Lord Buddha Sakyamuni replied to a woman who wanted to be happy in her life: “A woman asked the Buddha, how she could be happy? Lord Buddha said to her, first, if you want to be happy, you have to remove ‘I’ because that is ego. Second, you have to remove ‘want’ which is desire. After this, if you then look within all that you are left with is happiness”. This exchange demonstrates that our happiness is hidden deep within, underneath all our negative emotions, and once we clear these poisons than there is no reason why we cannot be happy
