Love and Happiness
Mood:  hug me
"We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it." George Bernard Shaw.

"Shopping for things we do not need, even if it is only window shopping, wastes a lot of vitality; energy flows out with every little desire. It is a surprising connection, but an extravagant shopper will find it difficult to love. He or she scatters love like largesse all over the department store. We can become bankrupt in love this way.....
So if you want a good, stiff test of your capacity to love, go into your favorite store some day - preferably when there is a sale - and see if you can walk straight through, looking neither left nor right, and come out unscathed. It may sound unbelievable, but it can be done!" Sri Eknath Easwaran
