Everyone wants a happy life...

Everyone wants a happy life without difficulties or suffering. We create many of the 
problems we face. No one intentionally creates problems, but we tend to be slaves 
to powerful emotions like anger, hatred and attachment that are based on misconceived projections about people and things. We need to find ways of reducing these emotions by eliminating the ignorance that underlies them and applying opposing forces.
