Buddhism may be right in some aspects, to say that we are “preoccupied” with our own desires”. Generally, when we want something in life and are unable to get it we tend to suffer, we are humans with feelings, are we selfish in wanting what we desire No. Wanting something in your life is not being selfish, for example: I want a brand new car, am I being preoccupied with this NO, if this makes me selfish than sobeit, can I afford it NO, not yet. Will I detach myself from my desires, NO; I need to have desires to be able to accomplish my goal of buying a brand new car.
I belief that sometimes our suffering is not self centered; it can be other things such as the death of your friends love one. Buddhism teachings may or may not be right for everyone, we all have different beliefs and society has established its rules and regulations that we must follow, Buddhists must follow their own rules and regulations in their society.
Do I think it is possible to learn according to the teachings of Buddhism; everything in life is possible, we learn to love, to hate and to be. Some of the teachings of Buddhism can be followed in society; we can try to live in peace, yet we have not succeeded.
