The
Buddha said: "If a man who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds
a greater one, let him leave aside the lesser to gain the
greater."
This is the "greater happiness"—the second, more difficult
path—which will come to any human being who recognizes the
choice he has in every action, even in every thought, and has
the will and discrimination to choose wisely.
Robert Frost's famous lines from "The Road Not Taken" provide a
model for the crossroads at which every human being stands:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I-I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
