      Buddhism teaches that wanting causes suffering. Happiness can be achieved when we stop wanting and start existing as we are.

      The comic punchline is that by getting rid of “want” then all we are left with is happiness.

        Almost a direct quote from Siddhartha Gautama except he was making fun of the people who thought the whole ritual was shaving your head and wearing a robe.

        Funny how someone will always be around to claim it’s as easy as just doing it. While likely not even achieving it themselves. Humans really never change.
