You know there is only so much happiness and if everyone used it then it would all be gone forever. So we must not let them use it up. If we hate them then they cannot use it up. And we can be greedy and ever so happy. Maybe we can build a happiness wall and keep them out ?

I think happiness is infinite! The trick is to identify it, accept it and share it.

I find it very difficult to hate, but have a hard place in my heart for all the Putins of the world and anyone who harms, particularly children, the elderly or animals. Love and peace. xx
