Dissatisfaction
“People blame others for their silence. They also blame those who talk much or in moderation. There is, therefore, no one in this world who is not blamed. He who is observant of other’s faults, and is always irritable, increases his own defilements. He is far from the destruction of defilement. The victor breeds hatred and the defeated lives in misery. Only he who renounces both victory and defeat is happy and peaceful. Though one should conquer a thousand times a thousand men in battle, he who conquers his own self, is the greatest of all conquerors. The noble swerve not from the right path, and crave no longer after worldly joys, let happen what may. The wise remain calm and constant in mind, alike in joy and sorrow. Seek happiness in the joy of duty which is nobly done.” - The Buddha
