Why do we cause ourselves to suffer?

I believe the majority of suffering for the majority of people is self caused. Why do we do this to ourselves? I know of three theories. I will list them here. 1. Our desires cause our self caused suffering. 2. Our resistance to what is causes our self caused suffering. 3. Many people feel like they have a burden to carry in life and so this is why they cause themselves to suffer. What's your opinion? Why do you think we do this to ourselves?

1. because the dixicrats are in power.
2. Read the Torah, mah brotha. Oh dreidel dreidel dreidel, I made it out of clay!
3. This doesn't correlate with you numerical list btw. I just felt like numbering them and listing them this way. 1. Of course is basic human ignorance and naivety. 2. The impossible religious standards completely contrary to human nature and sometimes even logic. 3. The human need to be better than some one else ( i.e. the need to be loved by others as well as ourselves)
4. some of our suffering is self inflicted....especially when we do not follow Gods way for us....we become independent and want to guide our own way...but because of sin we go by the desires of the flesh.... some of suffering also comes from other individuals and governments that dominate over man
