In Buddhism, ignorance as the root cause of suffering refers to a fundamental misperception of the true nature of the self and all phenomena.

Our attitude towards suffering becomes very important because it can affect how we cope with suffering when it arises.

Basically, a human being is a social animal. So, if you create some short moment of happiness for people, you get deep satisfaction.

Given the scale of life in the cosmos, one human life is no more than a tiny blip. Each one of us is a just visitor to this planet, a guest, who will only stay for a limited time. What greater folly could there be than to spend this short time alone, unhappy or in conflict with our companions? Far better, surely, to use our short time here in living a meaningful life, enriched by our sense of connection with others and being of service to them.

We are social animals. Others' suffering is ultimately your suffering; their happiness is ultimately your happiness.

We all have to live together, so we might as well live together happily.

Whether you believe in God or not does not matter much, whether you believe in Buddha or not does not matter so much; as a Buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life.
