Where are we?

Point to yourself.

Where is your finger aimed? You chest? Perhaps your head?
Are you either of those things? Are you your chest or head?
No, those are parts of you. But where are you?

You are thoughts inside of your mind. Your body is not you, but merely an appearance representing you as in fact, your body exists. All people are essentially thoughts. Do not become angry or fearful of people so much as the ideas they are projecting. Most ideas have been thought before, so why are we important?
We are important in decreasing the amount of suffering each other experiences. Our entire lives, we suffer. From the moment we are born, we are crying and throughout our lives we will again feel sadness or pain or discontentment. To be alive is to suffer.
Though to be alive is not only to suffer, but to rejoice; to feel pleasure and enjoyment. All things are temporary yet we seek pleasure and happiness from these temporary things. Happiness is to feel pleasure, contentment or joy. True happiness can be found not in material possessions or wealth or power, but in love.   Love is a profoundly tender or passionate affection. Love for another person is true when you do not care whether or not they make you happy, including by being in love with you. Love for another person is when you want them to be happy and are willing to help them achieve such contentment despite your own. Love is wanting for all people to be happy and wanting all thoughts to be content.

Are you satisfied?
Do you want anything? Have you any desires? Most likely, you will. But this can be overcome. Once you experience pleasure and happiness in an instance, you will desire to feel that way again. But you must remember, everything is impermanent. Do not become attached to people or things.
And this is where I stop you.
Do not become attached to people or things? Is attachment what causes suffering? When you like something or another person and suddenly, you can not have this thing or person any longer, you suffer. You desire for that feeling of happiness and contentment to continue. Would you not be lonely and saddened to release yourself from attachment? I suppose you must in the end, live for others, not just for one other and not just for yourself, but for all. That is when you become truly happy, but very few people will experience this.
