Be Happy.
“The thing is to be happy.
No matter what.
Just try that.
You can.
It gets to be easier and easier.
It’s nothing to do with circumstances.
You wouldn’t believe how good it is.
Accept everything and then tragedy disappears.
Or tragedy lightens, anyway, and you’re just there, going along easy in the world.”
– character Neal, in the story “Gravel” by
Alice Munro,
Nobel laureate.
