The Three Types Of Suffering

Hey, I'm a Buddhist... what do you expect?

The suffering of conditioned existence.

The suffering of change.

The suffering of suffering (the pain of pain).

Most people don't know the pain of conditioned 

existence.

For them it's like an eyelash in the eye.

For a Buddhist, it's like having a piece of wood 

on the eye... we're professionals.

Lucky us.

The pain of change is easily illustrated.

You get what you want, then you lose it.

Pain of pain is that on top of pain is more pain.

For example, on top of the fact I'm running out 

of money, I have no electricity and the modem 

got fried.

I won't dwell on the subject.

It's just good to know reality 

so you won't be surprised when it happens.

Don't shoot the messenger.

That would be painful.
