The Truth of Suffering

Started looking at some Buddhism notes again.

The Nature of Suffering

the noble truth of suffering:

1. birth is suffering (生苦)
2. aging is suffering (老苦)
3. illness is suffering (病苦)
4. death is suffering (死苦)
5. union with what is displeasing is suffering (怨憎會苦)
6. separation from what is pleasing is suffering (愛別離苦)
7. not to get what one wants is suffering (求不得苦)
8. the five aggregates (personal sensation, perception and conscious experiences)subject to clinging are suffering (五陰熾盛苦)

No wonder i am always depressed. (of course i have no control over the first 4, so I am suffering with the other 4.)
