How to overcome suffering: "Become a better person."
You can't reduce your suffering by fixing the world. It's not true. Fix yourself first. (Fixing the world). The Bible talked about fixing the beam in your own eye before the mote in someone else's.
Why should you even try to improve yourself? So you don't have to suffer any more stupidly than you do now.
People who have the greatest authority are those who have accepted suffering. Everyone wants to come to terms with it (in particular, mortality)
