Perspective

Wanting
The key to happiness is to stop wanting

All sufferings originate from wantings
Therefore we want - only to suffer

Wanting to know
Wanting to go
Wanting to do
Wanting to have

These are sources of misery

Not wanting is also wanting
It is wanting in the opposite direction

There is no end to wanting
So why suffer endlessly?

When you want, there is longing
When you don't want, there is misery

When you stop wanting, there is no more suffering
