If Humans contemplate deeply and see and introspect their
mind , they will find that Life is indeed one of the eternal
suffering.Every moments Humans are suffering , either
physically,emotionally or mentally.Can Humans ever find a single
person in this World who is free from physical, emotional or mental pain
?Even those who have attained Good stable life who are success
spiritually and materially are not free from the physical pain so long
as their physical entity called body exist.Life and suffering are the
two side of the same coin and they are inseparable from each other .
This Universe is totally "Uncertain " place to live. Humans does not know whats going to happen next ? .Everything is so randomly distributed.If any Human ask, "What is the most uncertain thing in this World ? -- the correct answer would be " Life is the most uncertain thing". Everything that Humans do in this World is to escape or evade suffering and pain.If Humans neglect this very precious one time life for even one second of their time ,that is more enough for them to lose their precious life. Most of their daily routine , such as working , eating,drinking, sleeping and walking are ways and means adopted by Humans to avoid suffering and pain.
Although Humans occasionally experience some sort of momentarily Worldly pleasures by satisfying their desires and passions , the very next moment these same things that gave them pleasure might turn into suffering and pain.Therefore, the noble treasure of peace and happiness need not be in the rich human hand but in the human who has renounced worldly pleasure.Everything pertaining to Human life is subject to change and unsatisfactoriness.That is why the " Enlightened One " has explained that as long as there is craving for worldly pleasure or desires or passions for existence , there is no way Human could escape from suffering and pain.Desire is important for existence .When existence takes place , suffering is unavoidable.
Many contemplate seeking eternal life, and yet, ironically , many seekers of longevity find life so boring that they do not even know ho to pass a single day! . Apparently Human intention is to remain younger in order to enjoy the pleasures of life perpetually.According to the " Enlightened One " , this craving for immortality is one of the causes of selfish ideas and sufferings.Whatever little happiness humans get is secured amidst many disappointments , failures and defeats. Human cannot find a life where there are no difficulties , problems, conflicts, disappointments, and so on among thousands of other uncongenial situations .Day and night Humans are struggling to get rid of these unpleasant situations and to get rid from suffering.When Human manages to get rid of one problem, intentionally or unintentionally they would have created themselves some other problems.Where then is the end of these problems ? For their own survival , humans have to accept such difficulties and sufferings without complaints.There is no other alternative . Sufferings will always be there ! Yet suffering and unhappiness are by no means inevitable."Suffering", Says the " Enlightened One ", " is disease and can therefore be cured completely when purity or perfection of mind is attained "
When humans look at the way people suffer in this World, they can see the real situation of the Worldly life.Why should they suffer in this way ? And who is responsible for their sufferings ?According to the " Enlightened One ", each and every person is responsible for their on sufferings.Humans are suffering here today because of their strong craving for existence, as craving for existence influences them to commit all evil deeds.This is the main cause of suffering.
Buddhism points out that the duration of life is very short and Humans should work mindfully ,diligently, vigilantly and heedfully towards the ultimate goal of " ENLIGHTENMENT " to end "SUFFERING ".
