Question

4b. Buddhists believe that the 2nd Noble Truth, "Suffering is caused by desire," is true. Do you? State a claim

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe it I mean, they have a point. I want(desire) my family and friends to live, but if I didn't then I would not suffer the loss. Another example, I was once really close to winning a Mario Kart tournament among friends and I lost because this one guy threw a blue shell at me and the reward for winning was 10bucks from each of us. I wanted (desired) that cash, and I got upset because I didn't win and then had to pay up to the winner. But it's fine, I didn't stay upset for long just a minute or two as the realization I lost set in. No point in pondering your losses when you can look towards your future victories.
