Oh happiness... either arrived at via a process of addition or negation... sometimes known as the "via positiva" or "via negativa". I chose the latter because the former is not sustainable, it's eventually painful, too often expensive, and attachment-formation is the name of the game... whereas the latter, negation, is also painful, and yet... thank heavens for Siddhartha and the four noble truths and other systems instructing you on how to leave behind suffering. 

This is the text in the t-shirt: Deconditioning yourself is the path of healing your darkness and releasing the limitations that hinder light-filled expression. You can release darkness by first becoming aware of its expression in your life. It is painful... nothing worthwhile isn't. Lasting happiness, which is inner peace, is a prize for the courageous heart.
