[Jitendra Hydonus]

"If one studies one's surroundings one finds that those who are happy are so because they have less thought of self. If they are unhappy it is because they think of themselves too much. A person is more bearable when he thinks less of himself. And a person is unbearable when he is always thinking of himself. There are many miseries in life, but the greatest misery is self-pity."

There is so much wisdom here! Meditation helps us think less of ourselves and expands our awareness to think of others and higher realities then the body and mind which we attach ourselves too a fancy them as our identity.
