"The basic condition for being happy is our consciousness
of being happy. If we are not aware that we are happy, we are
not really happy. When we have a toothache, we know that not
having a toothache is a wonderful thing. But when we do not have
a toothache, we are still not happy. A non-toothache is very
pleasant. There are so many things that are enjoyable, but when
we don't practice mindfulness, we don't appreciate them."
-- Thich Nhat Hanh
