The Noble Truth of Buddhism

Buddhism teaches that life as we usually live is drenched with unsatisfactoryness. The first time I came into contact with that, it felt like just kind of odd. Like I knew I was uncomfortable, but I didn't realize the depth of my own suffering. We may or may not notice that there's something we're doing that feels like resistance, avoidance, perhaps disassociation. That's at least part of the suffering, if not the entirety of it.
