Saw the sick, the dead, the poor (didn’t like it)
Left his home and family to be isolated
Tried starvation for realization and found that to be incorrect method
Meditated for a really long time
Rose Awakened, knew that people are suffering because of materialistic attachment
Taught doctrine, gained a posse
Achieved nirvana

Sounds to me like I should stop spending my life trying to make money for ______ financial problem, and stop caring about stupid things like my iPhone or FaceBook or Tumblr/whatever. And then I should leave and hang out in the Amazon for a while, do yoga, meditate, hang out with the trees (and zip line…). And then come back looking awesome, feeling awesome, and being a better person with a much less likely chance of heading towards some kind of evil hell after life.

OK…. easy enough…. hm.
