Love and Happiness

How to grow our own hearts, which begins with a commitment to understand and bear witness to our own suffering:

"When we feed and support our own happiness, we are nourishing our ability to love. That’s why to love means to learn the art of nourishing our happiness. Understanding someone’s suffering is the best gift you can give another person. Understanding is love’s other name. If you don’t understand, you can’t love."

Thich Nhat Hanh
