What Causes human unhappiness?

Unrealistic Expectations.

What causes human enlightenment and bliss?

Compassion towards all beings in the universe including oneself

How does one develop compassion for all beings in the universe including oneself?

There are many methods but this seems to work best for me:

"May all beings attain bliss and the cause of Bliss
May all beings be free from suffering and the cause of suffering
May all beings never be without the supreme bliss that is free from
All near and far, all grasping and aversion"

Not one being left behind.

By this merit May I become like all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Ten Directions and the
three times.

Note: The ten directions are for navigating galaxies and the three times are the past, present and future. The above prayer is a Buddhist prayer and develops infinite compassion. This is helpful in becoming enlightened and becoming helpful to all beings in the past, present and future.
