Byron Katie Quotes About Sadness

Quotes about: Sadness

• If your beliefs are stressful and you question them, you come to see that they aren't true - whereas prior to questioning, you absolutely believe them. How can you live in joy when you're believing thoughts that bring on sadness, frustration, anger, alienation, and loneliness?

• I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts
  because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace.
  “If I feel peaceful,” they say, “why would I bother taking action at all?”
  My answer is “Because that's what love does.”
  To think that we need sadness or outrage
  to motivate us to do what's right is insane.
  As if the clearer and happier you get, the less kind you become.
  As if when someone finds freedom, she just sits around all day
  with drool running down her chin.
  My experience is the opposite.
  Love is action.

• So, how can we live in joy - and how can we know that we're supposed to live in joy the way people tell us to - when we're believing thoughts that bring on sadness and frustration and anger and alienation and loneliness? When we're believing those thoughts, we think that's the world, rather than what we're believing about the world. We're like lost little children.

• The end of suffering happens in this very moment, whether you're watching a terrorist attack or doing the dishes. And compassion begins at home. Because I don't believe my thoughts, sadness can't exist. That's how I can go to the depths of anyone's suffering, if they invite me, and take them by the hand and walk them out of it into the sunlight of reality. I've taken that walk myself.
