Buddhism, Hindusim, the 4 noble Truths, and the 8 Fold Path

Since Buddhism is based around the 4 Noble Truths, I decided to discuss them first. Noble Truth number one is simply, life sucks, wear a helmet. Everyone else’s life sucks too, maybe not all the time, but no one’s life is good all the time, so deal. Oh yes, and we live through all those bad times, and in the end, what do we get, oh yea, we get to die, that’s right. These Noble Truths just keep getting happier with number 2. Suffering has a cause. The harder we try and improve ourselves, the worse we’ll feel. I guess that’s true. Here comes the happy one, Noble Truth number 3. Suffering can be ended! Yay, salvation! All we have to do is stop questioning things. I know what you’re thinking, where’s the fun in living, well, at least you don’t have to suffer, right? And number 4, meditation. Just learn to accept everything for being itself, and life becomes simple again. That’s a good thought.
