So, let's see. I am thirsty. This is suffering. However, then I am thirsty again and again this is suffering. Suffering is a natural condition of life.
Life contains old age, sickness, death and loss.
There are great forms and there are small forms. But again this is a question of how we understand suffering and how we relate to the nature of our own. The Buddha also teaches about mindfulness - living in mindfulness. Mindful living is living in the present moment, intensely and fully now. The past is already gone and the future is not yet here.
