Steve,
I must ask you, as I have not seen these Four Noble Truths before. Where did they come from, if you know ? Seems I have missed many things. The " where they came from " is not of major importance, but seems the person who made these statements seems down on life in general, especially with that first statement.
I disagree with the first statement, " life
means suffering ". Saying it like this , makes it sound like that this is all there is to life. Yes, there is suffering in life, but there is also joy. At times it seems certain people of certain religious/ spiritual paths, seem to only see, or to look for the suffering in life - it is almost like they feel " guilty " if they feel something besides suffering.
God grant me the patience to change the things I can. The knowledge to know what I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference.
words of wisdom, thanks
in Divine Friendship,
Spirit fox
