The Nechung Oracle Program Thought for the Moment...

It is very important to understand the context of the Buddhist emphasis on
recognizing that we are all in a state of suffering, otherwise there is a
danger we could misunderstand the Buddhist outlook, and think that it involves
rather morbid thinking, a basic pessimism and almost an obsessiveness about the
reality of suffering.  The reason why Buddha laid so much emphasis on
developing insight into the nature of suffering is because there is an
alternative--there is a way out, it is actually possible to free oneself from
it.  This is why it is so crucial to realize the nature of suffering, because
the stronger and deeper your insight into suffering is, the stronger your
aspiration to gain freedom from it becomes.  So the Buddhist emphasis on the
nature of suffering should be seen within this wider perspective, where there
is an appreciation of the possibility of complete freedom from suffering.  If
we had no concept of liberation, then to spend so much time reflecting on
suffering would be utterly pointless.
