Happiness and Sorrow originates from the attachment of an object to the person who relates to it.To accept or renounce an object depends on the person's relationship to that object.The happiness in accepting the object, which a person experiences will not be there when the person renounces the object.This is because there is an inherent feeling that the object belongs to me. There are 2 types of desires.One in which a person sacrifices something because he does not like it and another is where he accepts something because of liking. To Sacrifice something which a person does not like and the freedom experienced after that are the same. Renunciation should be understood in a different way.When you sacrifice something which you don't like it cannot be called Renunciation.Renunciation is something which you like and sacrifice it for the benefit and prosperity of others.When you sacrifice something which gives you sorrow that does not mean it can give happines
