| Grasping for pleasures, I'm disappointed. |
There are two kinds of suffering -- the suffering that leads to more suffering, and the suffering that leads to the end of suffering.
The
first is the pain of grasping after [and trying to cling to] fleeting pleasures with an aversion for
the unpleasant and displeasing, the continued struggle of most people day after day.
The
second is the suffering that comes when we allow ourselves to feel
fully the constant change of experience -- pleasure, pain, joy, and anger -- free of fear or withdrawing.
