00:00What do you think a person does once he gets some money?
00:02You didn't have money. You were sad all the time.
00:05Now you have a job and some money. What do you do with that?
00:08You go to the market, binge, splurge.
00:10I have money. I can throw money. Let me have that one.
00:13And the market tells you that you can have happiness through consumption.
00:18Come, buy my stuff. It will make you happy.
00:21And it does make you happy for a while.
00:23It's the darkness in the mind that thinks that you are born to consume.
00:28And consumption will make you happy.
00:30You are born suffering.
00:32So the first thing that comes to your mind is pursuit of happiness.
00:35Why? Because I am a suffering being.
00:38I am a suffering being who is also ignorant.
00:41So he does not know why he suffers.
