In Buddhism, we believe that there are only four emotions that we should nurture in order to live happily: kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. Kindness is the virtue that wishes for peace and tranquillity for all living beings. Compassion is an emotion of sympathy, wishing to eliminate problems and suffering in others. Joy is the ability to see others who are happy and to feel the same pleasure. Equanimity is a peaceful state of mind in which you eliminate the habit of feeling anger or confusion.
