In my darkest hours, what has saved me again and again is some action of unselfing, some instinctive wakefulness to an aspect of the world other than myself. A helping hand extended to someone else’s struggle, the dazzling galaxy just discovered millions of light-years away, the cardinal trembling in the tree outside my window. We know this by its mirror image. To contact happiness of any kind is to be dissolved into something complete and great, something beyond the bruising boundaries of the ego. The attainment of happiness is then less a matter of pursuit than of surrender: to the world’s wonder, ready as it comes. – Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness
