One thing I believe the Buddhists got right

[jennifer_bloom]

The Buddha said that life is suffering and the cause of suffering was the pursuit of material happiness.

I believe this is correct, and the bible suggests this in many places.

One thing that causes suffering is the pursuit of power and material happiness without service to God, to humility, to conscience, to principle, to responsibility, to love, to sacrifice, to hard work, to philanthropy, to public service, to bodily exertion, to mental deliberation, to emotional struggle and burden.

God wants us to serve and give and work and honour and apologize, before He gives us his beautiful graces and gifts, people who dine at the restaurant without paying before their meal will have to pay the cost after they’ve dined there. To me, this is one thing that leads to suffering in life, but of course, it is not the only thing. A life lacking authenticity and honesty also leads to suffering, but I’ve suggested that already in previous posts.

I totally agree on this, everything comes for a price and we should never be greedy in life

Another thing is that sacrifice is a major part of any life and sacrifice and suffering go hand in hand. We all also suffer from loss. I think while the bible highlights this I think any person that lives can and will experience this as well

In the end when your flashes before you... what will happen next? Those who put their treasures in heaven, will hear thou faithful servant.. Those who put their treasures on earth... Well... Fill in the blanks.. Life is full suffering wealth has nothing to do with it, it depends on what your chooses are, the outcomes.. Who you became.. That's what you'll look back at.. And what you can look forward to in the next.

This world is material. Religions were invented to control populations offering unreal, non material supplements to compensate lack of material goods.
Living in unmaterial world and walking on earth is a main couse of mental illnesses.
