00:00That's rouse people have against me. Why doesn't this man laugh? Because I don't need to. See,

00:04I'm already alright. I'm not depressed. Why do I need to laugh? You're so depressed. You need to

00:08laugh. You'll die if you don't laugh. But I'm already alright. I'm not tense. I'm not worried.

00:12I'm okay. I'm enjoying being with you. This association itself is so enjoyable. Why do I

00:16need to burst out into a guffaw? And if need be, when that happens, that happens on its own. I

00:22don't have to turn that into a routine or an obligation. Happiness is the most needless

00:27thing to be pursued because it is always and already there. Why are you searching for something

00:33that is your very nature? And if the mind is heavy, if life is no more fun, then you need to ask,

00:39what have I done? Life by design is not meant to torture you. You have all that you need to live

00:46joyfully. If life becomes cumbersome, then surely it is from my own decisions. It is my own doing.

00:52I don't need to laugh. I need to fight. I need to undo what I have done. I need to see

00:57clearly where I am conditioned and enslaved. When I see that, then I push away my grief.

01:04My grief is not something that has accidentally come upon me. My grief is something I am deliberately

01:10sticking to. I have to release my grip.
