I love this one so much I can't even say. I've been rereading it all day.

"So the Buddha had a very revolutionary teaching, and one of the fundamental things that he said was that in the human life there is pain, and a certain amount of pain is inevitable -- such as growing old, such as dying (that's the most inevitable one), such as illness, such as the more that you love -- and loving is something that brings tremendous sense of well-being to all of us, to actually love somebody and feel loved, but the more stronger there is, the more sadness and grief there is at the loss of that person. And such as, if you put your hand in fire, it burns. So there's a lot of discomfort in life, and the fundamental teaching of the Buddha was not to struggle against the pain in our life, and that's not the kind of news that we really like to hear. But it turns out to be an extremely important thing to contemplate
