: : granny may you be well and happy where ever you may be : :
The Buddha taught the four noble truths:
First noble truth, life is suffering.
Second noble truth, the cause of suffering.
Third noble truth, the cessation of suffering.
Forth noble truth, the way to end suffering.
Lets skip all and just discuss the first noble truth, Life is suffering. The statement literally means to life is suffering. And what does living means? Whatever you think living is that is it. But generally speaking it covers the birth, the aging or growing up, sickness and pain and lastly death. Everything we do is suffering. Not to you maybe, but to someone else. For example, when you were born, it was joy for you and your family, but it cause great pain to your mother. When you want something badly but you do not get it that is suffering. When you are in first place in any competition, the second runner up will suffer.
When I say suffering, it’s not like being torture or anything like that. Suffering I meant was, the feeling of dissatisfaction, unpleasant, or any other negative feelings. In short “ bo song” feeling.
Why am I posting this? Granny just passed away on Sunday. She was 87 years old. May she be well and happy where ever she is. I would like to say thank you to all those who send their wishes. I truly appreciate it.
And lastly so sorry to all those I hurt intentionally or unintentionally in this pass few days. I must admit I am not emotionally unstable. I get angry, sad and jealous easily for no good reason. Sorry sorry!!!!!
tell me what you think about this. i really wanna hear.

Everything we do is suffering . We suffer until we are so immune to it tats y we dont feel it .
Even when we want to eat something , we must suffer .
WHy say so ? Goin to market , buy those food , come back and cook , when eat, it might be not nice..
so isn't tat suffering also ?
hahaha :P
Hope you are feeling better after the last few days of worries and suffering.Everything that starts must also end..and so is life!
As quoted from bro.tan (if i got it correctly),"We do not only mourn for the death of our loved one, but also celebrate a new life.....". So, may your grandma be well and happy in her new life.
Strong and great effort done by you in the last few days.
Sukhi hotu to u and ur family.
not everything is about suffering... You can do little things to be happy.. just to make ppl laugh, then u r happy.. just donate some small amount of money to the needy, then u r happy..
no suffering involved rite?
However, i do believe that.. in MOST cases.. we need to endure the suffering in order to achieve something. Studies, gf (hehe), job promotion, etc.
Nothing comes easily, but it's up to u to choose to be a cheerful person.. or to be sober all the time.
Im glad u r not the latter.. glad to hav u back!
\:D/
my point: I think we are born to suffer. Its a must. So, just forget dat u're suffering cos u'r going to suffer wether u like it o not and it will come without ends.
sorry bout ur granma, may she be blessed wit peace n may u (n ur family) be blessed wit loving memories of her.
appreciate her by living a good life out of urself man
