What are some things in our lives that cause unhappiness and suffering?

Getting up in the morning is the origin of most of my pain and suffering.

A frigid wife.

O.K., I’ll be PC about it …

She is non-orgasmic, or she suffers from female sexual dysfunction.

I’d make a crummy Buddhist, eh? :frowning:

Living in a dorm room whose persistent growth of mold behind the paint makes me physically ill a great deal of the time. At least it’ll help build my immune system.

I can remember my seventh grade teacher telling us that yes you can control the person you fall in love with, by controlling the type of people that you assciate with. Of course I didn’t believe her. She was right. If you hang out with the wrong crowd then of course that’s where you’ll pick your mate from.
Unwise choices that we make for ourselves causes our unhappiness and suffering. Someone else doesn’t have the power to do that unless you give it to them.

Pablito, thanks for the input. I mostly just avoid her.

Sin oftentimes result in short term gain but just as often leads to long term unhappiness, pain and suffering.

I’m referring to practices such as drug and alcohol abuse, infidelity, theft, dishonesty, greed and overeating, among others.

Greed, selfishness, anger.
