The things people want most, cause them most sufferings.

We all know that human want is unlimited and no one can satisfied their want. If you are unsatisfied you will be suffering and cannot enjoy healthy life. If you want more you are greedy and ignorance.

People live in the sea of sufferings because of ignorance and greed. They are ignorant of the law of ‘Karma' and are greedy for the wrong kind of pleasures. They do things that are harmful to their bodies and peace of mind, so they cannot remain satisfied and thus cannot enjoy life, said Buddha.

People are like children who want more and more candies. When they can't get they are upset. If they get all the candies, they soon get tired of them and want something else. Although, they get a stomach-ache by eating many candies, they still want more. The things people want most, cause them most sufferings.

To end sufferings, one must cut off greed and ignorance.

Bhudhist call the state ‘Nirvana' in which all sufferings end. It is an everlasting state of great joy of peace. This is the ultimate goal of Buddhism.

To end sufferings, selfish desire must be removed. Just as a fire dies when no fuel is added, so unhappiness will end when the fuel of selfish desire is completely removed, there will be no suffering.
