ALL OF us want to be happy. And very often we hold the naive belief that if we just live our lives a certain way, if we press the right button on a Monday morning, we will sail through the rest of the week on a crest of wellbeing and success.
The truth is, life doesn’t work this way. Life has a curious way of breaking our hearts. It is full of violent eruptions of things that seem to come at us from nowhere. An old wound is suddenly reopened; an illness throws everything out of whack; a colleague betrays us; we lose someone we love – moments when suddenly the path we have been on disappears from beneath our feet.
