"The first noble truth of the Buddha is that when we feel
suffering, it doesn't mean that something is wrong. What a relief. Finally
somebody told the truth. Suffering is part of life, and we don't have to feel
it's happening because we personally made the wrong move. In reality, however,
when we feel suffering, we think that something is wrong. As long as we're
addicted to hope, we feel that we can tone our experience down or liven it up or
change it somehow, and we continue to suffer a lot."
