Author Name : Aristotle
Aristotle was a man of high intellect and his philosophical works prove the same. He could see that human beings can perceive and create a reality in imagination which results in suffering for them. However, he missed the point. Mere perceiving is not suffering. Not aligning the perceived reality with the actual reality causes suffering. Perceived reality needs to be aligned with the actual reality for a human being to be in the state of bliss.
AnandThe human being is a blend & coexistence of the life-atom (soul) and the physical body. Human beings have this power of Imagination which enables them to believe their perceived reality as truth. This creates a lot of inconsistencies between them which culminates in suffering. The purpose of human beings on this planet is to align the actual reality with the perceived reality that the frontal cortex and the fully advanced brain is able to conjure up.
