THROW THE HATRED OUT

Chogyam Trungpa: If we are capable of smiling, we have goodness in us,
always. Whether young or old, very old, or very young, still, there are
always possibilities of a smile. In fact, people do smile, at least three
times a day. That is goodness. So keep smiling. Enjoy your being.

Student: On a world scale, I see incredible alienation, exploitation, and
class oppression. How can what you're saying change the world?

Chogyam Trungpa: We can change the world, definitely. The problem is that
we don't smile when chaos occurs to us. When chaos occurs, even within that
chaos, we can smile, which cures confusion and resentment. Do you understand?

Student:: When you say to smile, are you saying that we should throw the
hatred out?

Chogyam Trungpa: Absolutely. Yes. You got it.
