In Buddhism it is said, the cause of suffering derives from the three poisons that exist within humanity; Greed, Ignorance and Anger. The Tao Teh Ching - #67 says; “I have three treasures. Guard them and keep them safe!The first is love; the second is moderation; the third is humility.”
'Greed and moderation' relate to the understanding of our needs and desires. 'Anger and love' relate to the implications of our feelings, and 'Ignorance and humility' relate to our observation of the unknown, and its possibilities.
