Anyway. Buddhist time:
All life includes suffering.
There is no self. You do not exist. You are nothing more than a collection of fibers and cells and atoms, and at some point they will all die. By ourselves, we do not exist, however we can exist only in our relationships with other people. Without relationships, we are nothing. If you never met me or heard me or saw me, I would not exist to you.
Wanting anything, anything at all, only leads to suffering. If you want something and don't get it, you suffer by disappointment. If you want something and do get it, you know deep down inside that one day it will cease to be. All things die, all desires die, all possessions die, we die. We all know this deep down, yet we try to make life happy by imagining that things will exist forever, when decay is evident and prevalent. This imagining makes life as we know it nothing more than an illusion, just a series of fabricated emotions. Emotions are real; imagining that they will exist forever is foolish.
Idk, just some words of wisdom, think about em if you want, or don't.
