What does the Buddha conclude is the source of human suffering? Human greed (wanting more and more things). Humans not having enough stuff. Humans bullying one another.

The Buddha concludes that the source of human suffering lies primarily in human greed, specifically the insatiable desire for more—be it material possessions, status, or even experiences. This endless craving creates a cycle of dissatisfaction, leading to suffering as people chase after what they don't have instead of finding contentment in the present moment. He teaches that understanding this greed is the first step toward enlightenment. By practicing the principles of mindfulness and letting go of attachments, individuals can reduce their suffering and cultivate a state of inner peace. It’s like shedding a heavy backpack filled with rocks—you realize you can feel lighter and freer when you stop carrying what you don’t really need!
