Life doesn't have to be heavy to be meaningful. In fact, the lighter you are, the more speedily you will see results in your own transformation. (It is the lightest plane that glides, yes? And the lighter boat that sails fastest. And the light cigarette that... oops, wrong analogy.) It is when we get bogged down in self-analysis that we lose sight of the bigger picture and get lost in a maze of tedium. It is when we get seeped in the minutiae of pyschoanalysis that we forget the joy of living. The joy of living is what we're here for. And when we lose that, even for a moment, we are disconnected from the source of all life.

Now, joy and happiness are not the same. Joy emanates from within and lasts forever. Happiness is usually attributed to outer circumstances that are temporal and fleeting.
