Why is it that we are unhappy? We know that events do not make us unhappy of themselves, but it is our reaction to those events that leaves us feeling discontent, sad, frustrated or angry.

It follows then, that we feel unhappy because we forget that we are not what happens to us in life, we are the life that is behind everything that happens.

When we focus on the raindrops on the surface of the puddle, we forget that we are in fact the vast ocean itself.
