If only. You're living a very blessed existence if happiness is the only thing you have to worry about.
Hey, if you've got all the answers, what's the problem, guru?
Do as the Buddha, abandon all craving, and you will reach Nirvana.
I'd be wary of any ties to religion — even the seemingly most benign, friendo. 🫥
It's true that Zen Masters rejected all religions, and that Gautama was an illiterate Prince who did a bunch of dumb stuff before promising others he could bring them eternal happiness......
But the whole "friendo. 🫥" thing?

Gluttony and materialism, I'd say. We all could have rich and wonderful lives. A few percent of us want more. And they try to make the rest think that that's the right thing to do for everyone, even if that's technically impossible.
I'm pretty sure that's the root of all evil. You are welcome.
