To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:

"I want happiness."

First, remove the I. That's ego.

Then, remove the want. That's desire.

Now all you're left with is... Happiness.

Unfortunately this story is misattributed to Buddha...

...so I attribute it to Zen Pencils instead.

<p>"I want happiness."</p>

<p>First, remove the I. That's ego.</p>

<p>Then, remove the want. That's desire. </p>

<p>Now all you're left with is... Happiness.</p>

This quote I love... it just multiplies. And that is both true, and beautiful.
