So it turns out that Steve was a Buddhist... which got me thinking... The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism
* Life as we know it ultimately is or leads to suffering/uneasiness (dukkha) in one way or another. - Feel ya there Steve! Cancer is definitely a suffering. * Suffering is caused by craving. This is often expressed as a deluded clinging to a certain sense of existence, to selfhood, or to the things or phenomena that we consider the cause of happiness or unhappiness. Craving also has its negative aspect, i.e. one craves that a certain state of affairs not exist. - You mean like the craving you caused for shiny new Iphone 4S/Ipad/Ipod/Imac!??? * Suffering ends when craving ends. This is achieved by eliminating delusion, thereby reaching a liberated state of Enlightenment (bodhi); - So were you just teasing us!??? * Reaching this liberated state is achieved by following the path laid out by the Buddha. - Or may be by installing Linux and removing cravings.... ;-) Rest well Steve J! I'll be keeping an eye out for any polo neck wearing otters/elephants/cats/etc!
