Choose to be happy !

When we have been wrong and for it punished.
We can endure, but choose to be happy.
When we've been manipulated and deceived.
We can feel cheated, but choose to be happy.
When we have sinned and truly repent.
We can receive pardon and choose to be happy.
When we are constantly jeered-at and insulted.
We can ignore, and choose to be happy.
When we are in pain because of hurt or disesase.
We can writh in pain, but choose happy.
When we are oppressed and bullied.
We can protest, but choose to be happy.

For,

To be unhappy is to hate ourselves and all else.
To be unhappy is to feel bound by all things.

To be happpy is to love ourselves in everyway.
To be happy is to feel bound by nothing.
