That’s quite interesting and makes you think. I shall award Four Pencils!

Very thought provoking, if not entirely logical. But then, nobody ever said suffering should be logical.

Suffering is the sensation existence causes in the subject (the one doing the existing). It can vary in intensity, but the only certain way to get rid of it is to get rid of existence.

Hey this is funny elsha and i were just having this discussion. I quoted Lord Buddhas 1st noble truth…All life is suffering. and the second…man is the cause of man’s own suffering.

yeah lancet i agree….ok you go first…hehehehe just needlin ya.

interesting… makes you think.

hee hee lancet just told you to go kill yourself.. well, sorta, i mean, only if it were you you were writing about. Love and happiness generally aren’t considered suffering.. they may result in it, but at the moment you are happy and not suffering.

oh and i said those two rules leave no room for happiness anyway, its a vicious circle of suffering.

I told you this was deep Tom… :)

Who is Tom?

Me, its my first name. Thanks for all the feedback guys, glad to see you’ve all interpreted it differently :D
