Dukkha

<h1>Dukkha</h1>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Often translated as <em>suffering</em>. Also, <em>non-satisfying</em>. Everything is impermanent, hence lacking lasting satisfcation. Life is Suffering -&gt; Life is Dukkha -&gt; Life is Unsatisfying because Life is Impermanent.</p>

<p>Buddhist teachings on trying to think your way out of sexual desire seem to contradict modern psychology and medical research. Asceticism and Catholicism (celibacy for priests) and other western <a class="thought-link" href="brain://cj9YiG0tR0S9_wzGrtI1NQ/Religion">Religions</a> seem to really like perpetuating this hurtful (for individuals) concept.</p>

<p>Most of the teachings on letting go of or ridding oneself of desire seem to jive with <a class="thought-link" href="brain://fVG8KcE9m0OF87UvTJlDyw/Stoicism">Stoicism</a>, a postive way to live one's life.</p>
