You don't have to be happy.

But try letting it all pass you by.

Watch the shifting flow of illusion.

See, without getting involved, how things come and go.

Set aside your worries and your fears.

Ignore your sorrows and your pains.

Don't take offenses and injustices personally.

Don't pity your sufferings and your grief.

Strip yourself of complaints, protests and shoulds.

Forget the past, the future, and even the present.

What is left for you, but to be happy?
