Abiding happiness will come to you when, ceasing to selfishly cling, you are willing to give up. When you are willing to lose, unreservedly, that impermanent thing which is so dear to you, and which, whether you cling to it or not, will one day be snatched from you, then you will find that that which seemed to you like a painful loss, turns out to be a supreme gain.
La felicidad duradera vendrá a ti cuando, dejando de aferrarte egoístamente, estés dispuesto a darte por vencido. Cuando estás dispuesto a perder, sin reservas, esa cosa pasajera que es tan querida para ti, y que—ya sea que te aferres o no—te será arrancada algún día, entonces hallarás que lo que parecía una dolorosa pérdida resulta ser una ganancia suprema.
