The cause of suffering is desire, the opposite of desiring is contentment "be content with such things as you have", to be content is to be happy, as soon as desire arises suffering begins, like a little kid that screams for a chocolate bar, we do the same, but quietly inside for other things, we suffer for the things we want but don't have, we suffer to try to get them, we suffer to keep them and then suffer when we lose them, if not during life then at death, including our bodies.
Very nice video, did you put this together yourself?. I have enjoyed your videos but thought of you as a guy playing games with stocks and strategy, now I see you as a man whom has an understanding of greater things, thank you for showing this side of your being. Chris
Money is the root of all evil no matter what form it comes in. Money should be used as a tool and that only, never horded. That being said, I have 37 ounces of silver thanks to these videos and others like them. It is wise to be prepared for an emergency.... King Solomon may have been wise... but he got greedy.... and it tarnished his reputation for all of time.
would just like to add to the discussion on the usage of a plant to metophorically explain the origin of evil. A "root" = "an origin or source; the underlying support." Take a look at EVERY act of evil. Every act we see has the underlying support of THE LOVE OF MONEY. see the evil, follow the money, know the origin. Also, I'd like to add that the love of money is not the love of currency, but the love of power.
true and if you ask the person committing the evil act they will say they are doing the right thing. (Hitler) So can there be anything such as evil except as a judgment?
King Solomon is also the same guy that demanded 666 tallents of gold from his people to build his luxurious temple. If that's not a house of pleasure, I don't know what is.
ah the Book of Ecclesiastes

Where in the bible did King Solomon say those words and the story about after the war? some it does sound very familiar from Ecclesiastes 4?

You have hit on the real 'PURPOSE' (or point) of existence.
It is to make intelligent life (us) through experiencing both pleasure and PAIN, 'MORE INTELLIGENT'.
People say, "If there is a GOD, why does he allow such suffering"?
It is to make us (who are NOT so intelligent LIFE at the moment) EVENT-ually 'REALISE', THAT 'PAIN HURTS'.
We will then STOP doing the things that CAUSE US PAIN.
Unless we experienced the UN-TRUTH/FALSE, we could NEVER get to a point of REALISING the TRUTH.
