Families are great murderers of the creative impulsive, particularly husbands.
The main cause of suffering is egoistic desire for one's own comfort and happiness.
The problems we face today, violent conflicts, destruction of nature, poverty, hunger and so on, are human-created problems which can be resolved through human effort, understanding and the development of a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood.
