The Mind is the Cause of all suffering a short quote

This is the first of many quotes and teachings I have learned over the many years on earth and follow in my life today. This quote really is so very true. Just think about it. Our mind is how we create and make decisions based on our desires, attachments, lessons, needs, and loves.

Then we live with the results and become who we are or want to be. Just look at the decisions certain individuals make and have made that have put this world into disarray and full of anger and fear.

A little compassion in one's mindset could truly make this a much more beautiful world to live in. Human beings are so beautiful and intelligent but their greed and desire are causing more and more pain. We were not meant to live like this. But we do.

Many of our thoughts and decisions end up well and some not so well. However, learning from them is the important decision we make. We are far from perfect but at least we can try to love more and hate less for a start.

I learned this quote from a Buddhist teacher and when I first heard this, it made so much sense. I was much older too. If I knew this in my teens? Who knows how my life would be now.

However, I am very grateful for this quote and shall always remember it. I am grateful you are here. Thank you.
