A great deal of our suffering comes from having too many thoughts. And, at the same time, the way we think is not sane. We are only concerned by our immediate satisfaction and forget to measure its long-term advantages and disadvantages, either for ourselves or for others. But such an attitude always goes against us in the end. There is no doubt that by changing our way of seeing things we could reduce our current difficulties and avoid creating new ones.

His Holiness would make a good economist.

Bwa! I hadn't thought of that, but you're right!

I try to think in the long term every day. I bet people think I'm unfocused for that very reason.

Very well said, and very applicable to many things both in my life and in the lives of others I care about.
