Is Life Suffering?

A, i talk a lot to my audiences about what i believe to be incontrovertible factsd. I think that the fundamental in incontroverted fact is that life is suffering. And everyone knows that, although they don't necessarily like to admit it or to talk about it. You don't have to scrape beneath the surface very far in some one's life to find a tragedy lurking. It's easy to understand why people become cynical and bitter and hurt and nihilistic. But there's a wisdom in cynicism that the naive lack.
