I smile, realizing that the Buddha's First Noble Truth could be translated, "Shit happens." As I understand it, it's actually one word, "Dukkha" and, is more accurately translated, "Suffering is." or "The...re is suffering." I love the simplicity. It's not "Life is suffering," which is not true, nor "There is always suffering." After all, the Third Noble Truth is about the end of suffering. . .
