Food and shelter are the basic need for survival, what Buddhism teaches about is the life after survival, which is far longer for humans than any other animal on earth, because of their high intelligence.
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.
“Just stop being sad!”
If only it was that easy…
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.

Those things aren’t emotional states.
No, but they do have an effect on emotional states.

If it were so easy as the comic suggests to rid ourselves of desire, we’d all be in nirvana already.
