Buddhism is dealing with the desire for things that we think will make us happy and aversion towards things thatWe think will give us sorrow. We're social creatures and we don't exist in a vacuum, even people who sometimes it seems like they try to make a make it a point that they don't care about what others think are not on the same page as each other.
