Good question, there isn't a point, it comes from being prideful. (imo)

The Four Noble Truths are a contingency plan for dealing with the suffering humanity faces -- suffering of a physical kind, or of a mental nature. The First Truth identifies the presence of suffering. The Second Truth, on the other hand, seeks to determine the cause of suffering. In Buddhism, desire and ignorance lie at the root of suffering.

its true i just wish there was an alternative to ignorance and desire and fear. maybe one day our hearts will be open and this all will go away and heart energy rules the world. but it seems like gratitude can be found in anything i do, as i pick up the lessons.

Sounds a bit like the Bodhisattva train of thought, but beware that it gives little and takes much:

Personally I feel that it is a bit unrealistic and could lead to more desire and suffering, as wishes tend to do . . .

I'm glad that you are working towards a more open mind, that is good progress imo!

:heart:
