Buddha says life is suffering. Largely I'd agree

Completely disagree with him on that.

Life is pure bliss.

The suffering is our inability to cope with the fact that that bliss comes in a limited edition and needs to be washed and sometimes cooked first to be enjoyed.

No matter how much bliss you have, no one is exempt from suffering, so your bliss can never be pure.

If you knew anything about legit suffering you'd have more respect for it.

Life is not good. Life is not a bitch. Life is bittersweet.

That's like saying sugar can never be sweet, because everyone receives it as a dirty sack of corn, and once it's finished, it's finished.

In medieval times, sugar was worth gold. Because it was so scarce, not despite of it. 😉

If you knew anything about legit suffering you'd have more respect for it.

If you knew anything about legit suffering, you'd have less.
