There was something called the Noble Truths that the Buddha came up with.

# data[].attributes.body
The first Noble Truth was, "Suffering and unhappiness are a part of human life. No one can escape sorrow."

The second Noble Truth was, "Suffering comes from our desired for pleasure and material goods. People cause their own misery because they want things they cannot have."

The third Noble Truth was, "People can overcome their desired and the ignorance and reach nirvana, a state of perfect peace. Reaching nirvana would free a person's soul from suffering and from the need for further reincarnation.
