“You start by seeking happiness.
On analysis you find that
misery is caused by thoughts.”
-Ramana Maharshi
How you experience life is determined entirely by how you think.
Watch your mind for proof of this: Only in thought is anything unacceptable.
Merriam-Webster defines arbitrary as: existing or coming about seemingly at random or by chance.
If you fully comprehend the arbitrary nature of language, all your troubles will disappear.
The shortest grammatically correct sentence is, interestingly, a pointer to our real nature: I am.
“Interesting,” in that a complete sentence of three letters hints at what we actually are: Awareness.
Remain aware.
When aware, you are naturally happy because thoughts are free of care.

re: “If you fully comprehend the arbitrary nature of language, right and wrong, and with it, all your troubles, will disappear.”
the 2nd “and” confuses me, could this be re-worded thusly, or would this change your meaning?
“If you fully comprehend the arbitrary nature of language and right and wrong, along with it all your troubles will disappear.”
or:
“If you fully comprehend the arbitrary nature of language, along with it right and wrong and all your troubles will disappear.”
Thanks for you comments. It is a confusing sentence. 🙂 I changed it to:
If you fully comprehend the arbitrary nature of language, all your troubles will disappear.
