"It is hard to be happy unless we can break the confinement that imprisoned us, especially at old age when habits formed solid. A great failure confines us for a long time, but every day we confine ourselves to smaller, shorter-term cuckoo nests with our anger, jealousy, illness,... A broken glass could take away happiness for a few minutes, an argument could take a few days of our lives. Those long- or short-term prisons are built by our thoughts around an event that happened which we are not satisfied with. Those prisons forbid us to go out and seek happiness for ourselves and for our loved ones. They can only be broken when we can forgive the cause of it, or forgive ourselves, or if we are able to stop thinking about it."
