“The world is full of suffering. Birth is suffering, decrepitude is suffering, so are sickness and death suffering. To face a man of hatred is suffering, to be separated from a beloved one is suffering, or to be vainly sruggling to satisfy one’s needs. In fact, life that is not free from desire and passion is always involved with suffering. This is called the Truth of Suffering.”
