Buddha Quote
Tuesday June 9, 2026
Beyond the Horrids of Life"The secret of happiness is to face the fact that the world is
horrible, horrible, horrible."
That was a quote by Lord Betrand
Russell, dubbed by many as the greatest philosopher of the 20th
century. He seems to be referring to the First Noble Truth of
life in his own way.
The secret of happiness, according to the
Buddha is realising the Four Noble Truths:
1. Life is full of
dissatisfactions,
2. They have their causes in our wanting
(greed) and not-wanting (hatred), that comes from our
ignorance,
3. The end of dissatisfactions is possible, &
4. The
way to end dissatisfactions is the Noble Eightfold Path.
I guess
that makes Lord Buddha the greatest "philosopher" of all time.
And that was 2,540 years ago.
