So, one problem/question I always have with meditation... I read all those great posts describing how meditation made them better and happier people. That's exactly what I am hoping to get from meditation, becoming a better person and in general being happier with my life.

But in so many posts there's someone saying that you can't reach those goals when they are why you're mediating.. I'm not really getting that.. Isn't that the motivation why people meditate? For the benefits?
