    Buddhism teaches that wanting causes suffering. Happiness can be achieved when we stop wanting and start existing as we are.

    The comic punchline is that by getting rid of “want” then all we are left with is happiness.

      I want to eat

      I want to have shelter

      You know… I don’t think it really works for all things.

          No, but they do have an effect on emotional states.

            Food and shelter are the basic need for survival, what Buddhism teaches about is the life after survival, which is far longer for humans than any other animal on earth, because of their high intelligence.
