Tying your happiness to a drunk donkey

1:49|2026|metaphor
I used to say that to expect happiness from the world is like tying yourself to a drunk donkey and trying to feel happy in that. No happiness is going to come like that. Why? Why? Because everything here is constantly changing. We plug our happiness on relationships. But relationships are the most unstable. One person could tell you, yes, yesterday I love you with all my life and next day say, I need some space from you. Even your children could say, no, no, just give me some space. So all of these things that we attach to in the world, nothing, none of it is stable. And even material things, God has made sure there are natural forces. Something can catch fire, something can have an earthquake, something. So he can't attached to anything. They can get stolen. What is there? What is there? So somewhere, although we live in denial of all of these things, we know that it's all very unstable. Our identity life is all completely unstable. So what does it really have to feel happy? Nothing. It's the only source of happiness, the only source of joy is that one which is unaffected by time, unaffected by death, unaffected by birth, unaffected by all of this.
