The First Truth identifies the presence of suffering.   \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 2)
{\bf{2.}} {\emph{Suffering is caused by desire.}} \newline % Row Count 7 (+ 1)
The Second Truth, on the other hand, seeks to determine the cause of suffering. In Buddhism, desire and ignorance lie at the root of suffering. By passion, Buddhists refer to craving pleasure, material goods, and immortality, all of which are wants that can never be satisfied. As a result, desiring them can only bring suffering. Ignorance, in comparison, relates to not seeing the world as it is. Without the capacity for mental concentration and insight, Buddhism explains, one's mind is left undeveloped, unable to grasp the true nature of things. Vices, such as greed, envy, hatred and anger, derive from this ignorance.   \newline % Row Count 20 (+ 13)
{\bf{3.}} {\emph{Desire can be overcome, and therefore suffering can be removed.}} \newline % Row Count 22 (+ 2)
The Third Noble Truth, the truth of the end of suffering, has a dual meaning, suggesting either the end of suffering in this life, on earth, or in the spiritual life, through achieving Nirvana. When one has achieved Nirvana, a transcendent state free from suffering and our worldly cycle of birth and rebirth, spiritual enlightenment has been reached.   \newline % Row Count 30 (+ 8)

A good way to show how the different beliefs are connected is to group them in paragraphs.
