Tihc Nhat Hanh said it...

"The seeds of joy and freedom are buried deep in our consciousness. If we do not water these seeds, peace will never be obtained. We run away from ourselves because we do not want to touch our pain, suffering, anger, or despair.In today's society, everything encourages us to run away from ourselves and look outside for happiness. So it is important for us to learn to embrace our pain, anger, and fear in a very tender way, to accept them, and to make our peace with them.The energy of mindfulness will help us. When we do this, a transformation takes place and we touch the deep peace, joy, and stability that are within us."
