Nothing hurts more than heartbreak (dukkha), which along with impermanence the Buddha defined as two-thirds of the problem of phenomenal existence (SNL/Celebjihad.com).
In a devastating turn of events, poor Katy Perry (Catty Purry) has been dumped by British comedian Russell Brand after 14 months of marriage to the "ET" songstress.

"O meditators! What is the Noble Truth of suffering (dukkha)? Rebirth is disappointing, aging is disappointing, death is disappointing; sorrow, crying (lamenting), physical pain, grief, and despair are disappointing; associating with the unloved is disappointing; being separated from the loved is disappointing; not getting what one wants is disappointing. In brief, the Five Aggregates of Clinging are disappointing" (SN 56.11).
- Dukkha: disappointment, misery, woe, ill, suffering, distress, pain, unhappiness.
