Varied experiences give rise to varied emotions. When happy and secure, we convey uplifting feelings and emotions. When unhappy and miserable, we become mean and nasty.

Discovering the Immanent Unity in Creation                                                                                               *Saumitra Mohan             Right since our inception into this world, we remain fascinated by the mundane attractions.
