Whatever joy there is in this world, All comes from wanting others to be happy. Whatever suffering there is in this world, All comes from wanting oneself to be happy.

3 reasons why we are unhappy.
1) we don't appreciate what we have. 2) we don't get along well with people, sentient beings, environment, things, etc. 3) Anger, jealousy, afflictive emotions.
i hear you.
