You should not fall into the wrong ways because of those whom you believe are doing you wrong and causing you to be unhappy. You are your own cause; you can choose to be happy or otherwise. It is entirely within your capability to switch from one state to the other!
The same is true of all sufferings, whether they arise from sickness, from opportunities in life that seem to be lacking, or even from matters of love! This is how the world has always been and will always be: one being becomes the cause of many others’ mental states of happiness and unhappiness.
Just a word, an act, or even a thought, those around you may either benefit or suffer, depending on the nature of your mind. It will continue to be this way until you become awakened and realise how silly you have been, to entertain the states of mind that tie you down.

How many will come with heavy hearts and learn to lighten themselves in the end? What is the secret? How can it be done? It is so simple: drop the burden of illusion and accept not the pains that are unreal. Today there is deep frustration; tomorrow happiness! Knowing this, why harbour thoughts of grief? How long can one grieve? Why grieve and remain deluded?
Let go. Free your mind from the attachments that come in all forms, leading to desires and false views. Only the foolish long for happiness; the wise work towards attaining it! Attain it, then, and let no other person be the cause of your desire, sorrow, anger, or disappointment. They too live in ignorance, have faults, and must experience the fruition of their past karmas. They cannot be hated, for they too hold false views. You should not hold such views and feelings if you are on the Path of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Let there be no illusive thoughts. Neither should there be anger or aversion. Instead, always keep the mind calm and free of thoughts that distract and weaken concentration.
