Living amidst the hateful

340. Happily indeed we live,
Loving amidst the hating.
Amidst those who hate
We live full of love.

Happily indeed we live,
Healthy amidst the ailing.
Amidst those who are ill
We live in perfect health.

Happily indeed we live,
Content amidst the greedy.
Amidst those who are greedy
We live in contentment.

Dhammapada 197-199
