So come what may, I'll not upset
My cheerful happiness of mind.
Dejection never brings me what I want;
My virture will be warped and marred by it.
If there's a remedy when trouble strikes,
What reason is there for dejection?
And if there is no help for it,
What use is there in being glum?
---The Way of the Bodhisattva 6:9-10---
