+The self-centered thought is not who we are.  The self-centered thought is
+different from the mind that wants to be happy because we’re sentient
+beings.  Everybody wants to be happy.  There’s no problem with wanting to be
+happy.  The problem is the way the self-centered thought goes about thinking
+of our happiness and the way it goes about getting happiness.  It is a
+distorted mental state that can be eliminated by seeing its disadvantages,
+applying the antidotes, and cultivating the mind that cherishes others.
