The root cause of all suffering is typically identified as desire or attachment. When individuals become attached to particular outcomes or possessions, they set themselves up for disappointment and suffering when those desires are not met. Buddhists believe that by releasing attachment and desire, one can alleviate suffering.
The texts tell us that the Buddha discovered that our own; thoughts words and deeds are the primary cause of our own suffering. Suffering generally is the result of 'ignorance' of the laws of cause and effect. Suffering is the result of our attachment and aversion to composite phenomena, things that do not last.

Buddhism teaches the concept of giving up all worldly desires in order to achieve enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of suffering and rebirth. Buddhists believe that attachment to worldly desires leads to suffering, and by cultivating detachment and letting go of desires, one can attain inner peace and spiritual awakening.
They did not like the idea of human suffering. They want peace and happiness
Buddhism teaches that the root cause of suffering is craving and attachment to desires. By letting go of desires and attachments, one can achieve liberation from suffering and reach a state of enlightenment. This principle is central to Buddhist philosophy and practice.
Human desire causes this suffering.
Science has advanced human knowledge and technology, leading to improvements in health, communication, and quality of life. However, science alone cannot fulfill all human desires, as some desires are emotional, spiritual, or philosophical in nature. Science continues to progress, but human desires are complex and multidimensional.
The Four Noble truths teach about suffering. For Example: everyone suffers from the desire for material things, but overcoming these desires will bring suffering to an end.
