00:00What do you think a person does once he gets some money?
00:03You didn't have money. You were sad all the time.
00:05Now you have a job and some money.
00:07What do you do with that?
00:08You go to the market, binge, splurge.
00:10I have money. I can throw money.
00:12Let me have that one and this one.
00:14And the market tells you that you can have happiness
00:17through consumption.
00:19Come, 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
00:25that 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
00:34pursuit of happiness.
00:36Why? Because I am a suffering being.
00:38I am a suffering being
00:40who is also ignorant, so he does not know
00:42why he suffers.
