“You have to create the atmosphere of happiness around you.  If everybody is miserable, how can you be happy?  You will be affected.  You are not a stone, you are a very delicate being, very sensitive.  If everybody is miserable around you, their misery will affect you.  Misery is as infectious as any disease.  Blissfulness is also infectious as any disease.  If you help others to be happy, in the end you help yourself to be happy.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships
