I once was at a meeting with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who was asked by a participant how he could be so full of laughter and joy when the world is in such turmoil. The Dalai Lama’s response was incisive and insightful. He said that it wasn’t just in spite of the world’s suffering that he laughs and finds joy in each day, but rather because of the suffering. If we don’t cultivate our innate capacity for joy and laughter, then the suffering of the world will have won.
