 This life is a short thing. If you look at the age just of this planet, it's millions of years old, and you are here for a few decades. In that time that you are here, the experience is meant to be a joyous experience. It is not meant to be fraught with suffering. If that experience is meant to be joyous, the first and most important thing is to keep it simple. Keep the ambitions low, because the greater the ambitions, the more the suffering, without an exception.
