Monday Motivational 47: Life is Suffering

This is the first of the 4 Noble Truths of Buddhism.  Often in the west we take that very negatively.  The intent in the meaning though is that there are many things that happen in our life that don't go as we would like. Most of these we just let pass on by.  However, the big sufferings we definitely notice and no is immune to them.  Can we learn to handle the big ones like we do the small ones?
