How does one liberate from misery?

In the world in which we are situated upon, it is noticeable that the assiduous and
lucubration studies such as in the domain of philosophies and sciences are the endeavors which
are reconciling with a particular drawbacks. In this contemporary period in which I am positioned,
I have realized that the world is too preoccupied with a lots stuffs which most of them are either
negligible or trivial.

Our minds are fond to ponder and on the things such as remorse on the past and uneasiness
on what would occur. As I have been reconciling at the diversity of thoughts, it is accentuated that
we are often expecting an occurrence in accordance with our will, thus if it did not comports in
our will, wish and demand we are tend to behave in the way our attitude would be deviating to
propriety and so it would deprive happiness, because of our acquisitive tendency happiness is
veering away and straying off the right path. I can comport an occurrence in which the people are
miserable; the surfeit aesthetic surgeries in which they are suffering from various of complications
and disorders in such way the mess with nature,. In order to eliminate misery one must have an
acceptance to the inexorable and inevitable phenomena and relegate our desires and have the
mindset that the world is beyond our manipulation.

More so, one must live according to its nature, we should be rational and therefore we may
attain the happiness which is commensurate to wisdom, wisdom in the strict sense is the
manipulator of our behavior, tendencies, emotions, wherefore it provides placidity in our lifestyle.
Wisdom per is an arbiter between our needs and wants, wisdom is the salient element of our
humanness in the sense that it is providing rationales behind every happenings and things, it is
providing rationales on how we should act and react to something. And in the peak of its function
wisdom is indispensable because it is ushering us forth towards other virtues which are ought to
be possessed. And for me, the acceptance of what would inevitably happen and our wise reaction
toward it is the best way to liberate oneself from misery, worriless and expect less in every
situations.
