People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
- George Bernard Shaw
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
- Robert Frost

What is the connection then, between happiness and circumstance?
The difference between happiness and joy?
". . . I want to beg you, as much as I can, love, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Precious and wonderful themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. AND THE POINT IS, TO LIVE EVERYTHING. LIVE THE QUESTIONS NOW."
The beauty of life is this: Joy and Sorrow are so intricately intertwined that they cannot be seperated. When we live with open hands and open hearts, we allow both sorrow and joy to pass through us, to caress us, to teach us.
