Your own thoughts, judgements and interpretations are the cause of your suffering.

We live in thoughts in every second of our waking life. When being lost in thoughts during waking life, we think endless thoughts (in fact, random thoughts take control of our thinking), and we experience all sorts of disturbing emotions coming along with thoughts, and we suffer from feeling these emotions, without realising that we just get totally lost in our own mental world!

We unknowingly mistake our own thoughts and our own judgements/interpretations of things to be reality. And so we blame people and the world to be the cause of our suffering. But in fact, we have been seeing just a distorted version of things through the lenses of our own ‘tinted’/conditioned mind, and we live our whole lives in this self-interpreted version of reality.
