Although you can find certain differences among the Buddhist philosophical schools about how the universe came into being, the basic common question addressed is how the two fundamental principles--external matter and internal mind or consciousness--although distinct, affect one another. External causes and conditions are responsible for certain of our experiences of happiness and suffering. Yet we find that it is principally our own feelings, our thoughts and our emotions, that really determine whether we are going to suffer or be happy.

Yep, it's only us who decide how we feel. Though monitoring our thoughts is a drag; they have their own life and party.
thus, sometimes, WE have to be the party pooper in order to get OUR party going.
LOL Well said :)
