According to Buddhism view of our life, every single matter in existence will definitely perish, that is the rule of this world. In other words, the world is constantly changing every single moment.
Even if you are satisfied with your life in this present time, or your life is on the right track, you are still going to be uncertain about what the future holds in maybe 1 year, 5 years or 10 years from now. Will your happiness continue?
In fact, everyone has problems more or less, even a financially wealthy person might have a problem with health, or even if someone who is healthy could have a problem with relationships in the family etc. Everyone can experience unfortunate situations in life and will need to try and find solutions.
You might think that until you have to face a problem, you can leave it, as there are so many services for solutions you could find online.
True Buddhism teaches us that the fundamental solution can only come from deep within ourselves. You might acknowledge the idea called Karma, which has big effects on our lives. Karma is created by the three categories of action: thoughts, words, and deeds, which causes different characteristics that people possess, such as differences in the country of birth or place of residence, differences in personal abilities, and differences in appearance are all based on the effect of their Karma accumulated from previous lifetimes. It is said that people are continually affected by the Karma created by good and evil acts committed in past lives.
However, the principle of Karma is different from the idea of fatalism. It’ important to understand that one can change one’s life in the future through this True Buddhism practice.
Therefore the main principle of True Buddhism is the eradication of our negative Karma, which prevents our great fortunes and attainment of ‘Buddhahood‘. Every human being, regardless of social class, gender, evil disposition, aptitude or other distinction, has within themselves innate enlightenment called ‘Buddha Nature’ and able to attain the state of ‘Buddhahood‘ through this True Buddhism practice.

What does inner-life consist of?
We as independent human beings, don’t want to be told what to do, we would rather follow our instinct and wisdom, taking action with our own initiative. We believe in ourselves and deal with whatever consequences that come after, we learn from our mistakes and hopefully get it right for the next time. I have discussed this with many people. I’m not against this opinion, as it’s the most natural and even positive attitude we can take based on our experiences and wisdom we gained from it.
