In Buddhism, desire and ignorance lie at the root of suffering. By desire, Buddhists refer to craving pleasure, material goods, and immortality, all of which are wants that can never be satisfied. As a result, desiring them can only bring suffering.

    Great comic, and text, thank you. And it is not only this. People want happiness and pleasure but not pain, and those two are sides of the same coin. Learning to be content with what you have can bring great joy.
