The Full Circle of Happiness

You can have a child like happiness but it won't last because sooner or later you have to grow up. You have to start learning the lessons of life. We are here to learn and 2 of our greatest teachers are pain and problems. None can avoid these instructors. To get to the REAL happiness, that of a "street wise saint" - i.e. you KNOW the score and you are happy because you realize that this is the way things have to be - you need to go through a lot of pain and problems. But oh are the rewards so sweet.
