the mind can be happy devoid of ice cream

"It is fine to take pleasure, to enjoy good food and to listen to beautiful music. Becoming curious about how we suffer doesn't mean we can no longer enjoy eating ice cream. But once we begin to understand the bewilderment of our untrained mind, we won't look to the ice cream and say, 'That's happiness.' We'll realize the mind can be happy devoid of ice cream. We'll realize that the mind is happy and content by nature."
