ABSTRACT
We have so far considered two ofthe three aspects ofDukkha. First, life inevitably entails a great deal of suffering. This ranges from the acute (produced by wars, famines, disease, etc.) to the commonplace (feelings that frequently wash over us: grouchiness, fear, anger, boredom, depression, aches and pains, loneliness, etc.). Second, although sutfering is frequently not experienced, it is always potential. The angel of suffering, so to speak, lurks about us even in the best of times.
