*There may be atleast one unselfish act which makes you happy. Like saving a dying bird on the street. Taking care of a dog which was otherwise going to be put down. Or pushing away a man from the path of a high speed train ? Saving other beings from suffering makes me happy. Unfortunately it is not easy to do in a crazy modern world where everyone is mentally suffering but they don't think they are. Compassion or loving kindness is a way of life and it is the nature of the Self.
