Hector:
You've been a fugitive. You've been in prison for your beliefs, you've lost family and loved ones. I mean, you've just been through so much. How is it you're so happy? Old Monk:
Because I've been through so much. Hector:
I mean, searching for happiness is one thing, but making it the goal, it just doesn't work, does it? Old Monk:
Higher than that, Hector. More important than what we are searching for is what we are Avoiding. Hector:
Like unhappiness. So, don't make unhappiness *not* the goal? Old Monk:
Higher than that. Hector:
Avoiding unhappiness is *not* the road to happiness. Old Monk:
You hold all the cards, Hector. [both laugh]
