Comment on Anon puts himself out there

  It’s a Buddhist misquote, it should read “there is suffering in life” but it’s often interpreted as “life is suffering.”

  The intent is to express that our own desires and material wants are often the root causes of our suffering and if we can begin to understand that we can begin to free ourselves from the suffering that occurs in this existence.

  But it does sound nihilistic as fuck on its own.

    See that makes way more sense, but I’m rereading the original comment and I’m not getting that
