"You really want to be happy, don't you? In spite of all your love of conflict, below that conflict is something else that wishes you didn’t have to engage in quarrel and worries. I'm telling you that that is the real and right part of you, where you suspect that the excitements and the winnings and the losings, that that’s not what life is really all about, and it isn’t.

Now I'm going to make a statement. I'm building up to a very strong point at the start that I want you keep in mind as the talk progresses. You really want to be happy but only in the sense, presently, that you don’t want to be unhappy.

You haven’t the slightest notion of what happiness is, you’ve never had it. Don’t forget what I just said. Don’t you dare from this minute on think you know what it means to be free, to be lighthearted, to be authentically cheerful - you don’t."
