Don’t want anything. Don’t regret anything.
The happiness equation

Don’t want anything. Don’t regret anything.
The true man wants nothing, expects nothing, fears nothing. He holds no opinions. He neither opposes nor competes.
When a man loses his fear of pain, he stops craving pleasure. Freedom from one is freedom from the other. Pain and pleasure are back to front, front to back. One is both.
We clear the mind of memories when we lose interest in what we are remembering. This happens naturally, without intention or effort, and hastens as regret and anticipation slink away without saying goodbye.
Freedom is not the freedom to do what I want; it’s the freedom to do what I must.
