Dhammapada: Joy

A lot of parallels with "If..." here. It's kinda cool.

Dhammapada: "Live in joy, in love, even among those who hate."
If: "If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated, don't give way to hating,"

Dhammapada: "Live in joy, in peace, even among the troubled"
If: "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you."

Dhammapada: "Live in joy, without possessions, like the shining ones.
The winter sows hatred because the loser suffers. Let go of winning and losing and find joy."
If: "If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss."

"There is no fire like passion, no crime like hatred, no sorrow like separation, no sickness like hunger, and no joy like the joy of freedom."
No parallel to draw here. I just like this passage.
