Human beings are not intrinsically selfish, which isolates us from others. We are essentially social animals who depend on others to meet our needs. We achieve happiness, prosperity and progress through social interaction. Therefore, having a kind and helpful attitude contributes to our own and others' happiness.

If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.
