an excerpt from ” A Time for Everything”,

A major part of the problem of suffering is the lack of understanding of ourselves and the nature of society and the world. The source of suffering according to Buddhist thinking is ignorance, a flawed perception of the world. Much of it is linked to our desires and the inability to perceive that everything is impermanent. In this life, while we should enjoy material things and human relationships, we should not be attached to them; to cling to them; to want to own them and to control them. We should be happy to enjoy them but also to lose them. Nothing is permanent.
