Life is suffering, suffering is caused by desire, when one satisfies a desire another comes to take its place, therefore satisfying a desire is not the way. One must become not enslaved to feelings/people/things/emotions & realize there is no-thing (not nothing) in this way one may attain Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi & be awakened thus reverting to the way one actually is. No ego consciousness. Or so they say - but i am very enslaved and attached to my world & my self.
