Quote by Anthony de Mello
Why is everyone here so happy except me? Because they have learned to see goodness and beauty everywhere, said the Master. Why don't I see goodness and beauty everywhere? Because you cannot see outside of you what you fail to see inside.
Summary
This quote suggests that everyone around us appears happy because they have cultivated the mindset to recognize goodness and beauty in every aspect of life. However, if we fail to see positivity within ourselves, it becomes difficult to perceive it outside. In essence, the quote implies that our inner perception shapes our external outlook, implying that developing an appreciation for the goodness and beauty within is crucial for seeing it in the world around us.
