The degree of a person's suffering depends entirely on the concentration of the "self" within their life. The stronger the ego, the greater the pain; the lighter the ego, the less the suffering. A genuine interest in the objective world can effectively help us escape the cage of the self. Therefore, cultivating a love for nature, philosophy, art, and music is highly beneficial. These pursuits not only enhance the quality of life but also dilute the sense of self within our existence, preventing our lives from being limited and narrow. It ensures our consciousness is no longer imprisoned by the narrow ego and desires, which are the ultimate sources of all pain and anxiety.
