Please tell me in detail about all the suffering

I'm convinced that impermanent conduct and lawlessness are true, but I'm not really convinced about everyone's suffering at all.
Things can get better or worse depending on the interpretation, so I don't understand that everything is painful. If everything hurts, I don't think there's any reason to live.

Please explain in detail about all the suffering.

What does all suffering mean is not “suffering” ❝ it doesn't turn out the way you want ❞

When everyone suffers at all, it means that things in this world don't turn out the way you want them to be.
Let's say the questioner has a wish or request for someone or something, for example, that they want it to be this way or that they want it to be like this. But the world exists as a way of being completely unrelated to those wishes and thoughts.
That kind of appearance means the shape of this world.

If you get rid of individual human subjectivity (me) and look at everything, even if it is a horrible reality for humans, there is no one to make judgments, so you should be able to know the state of the world before evaluation.

If you look at things subjectively, there are human hardships, but mountains and rivers don't suffer, and there are fun things that aren't painful.
“All suffering” is not referring to our subjectivity; it is about a world where this world does not turn out the way we want = predicament = world unrelated to ego = suffering.
✖ “This world is suffering”
〇 It can be said that “this world does not live up to one's wishes = existence at all is a way of being unaffected by one's own thoughts = suffering” is an appropriate translation.

The “suffering” referred to here does not mean what is called “painful,” and it expresses the reason and state of this world, and it is not “❝ suffering ❞ in the sense of ❝ painful ❞ that appears in the mind as a subjective way of feeling or judgment, but “not going the way you want it.”
Not going the way you want is a major premise in this world, so it is only when you are aware of this that you can also understand that if you add greed, it won't turn out the way you want, so it's painful. Therefore, they begin to try to suppress the fire of greed.

It is humans who conveniently and uselessly (misinterpret) the world through “my own way of looking at things = my opinion.”
There is a reality where such a way of looking at things actually functions as a function of the human brain. But you can change that.
In terms of brain function, “enlightenment” can also be said to be a state of watching things correctly as they are without making it work without human judgment, without adding personal opinion.
Originally, the world is neither suffering nor comfort.

Nothing is going the way you want it to. Therefore, if you understand it deeply, you will stop living a foolish way of life where you empty your accelerator and try to do whatever you want. I think they also have that kind of commandment.

There is always “suffering” behind fun things and happy things.

There are fun things and happy things in life, but speaking of why everything (everything) is “suffering,” I think it means that there is always “suffering” behind fun things and happy things. For example, if you think about the death of a person, isn't there a death as sad as the death of one's own family? If there are many fun days with the deceased, the death of the deceased will be a deep sorrow for those of us left behind, and we will always remember that person. Conversely, no matter how famous a person is, or a person whose life was taken by a brutal act, if that person is not directly involved with them, they will not always remember and mourn that person. In a scene from the old western film “Shane,” Marian tells her son Joey “... Joey, you can't fall in love with Shane” and “Someday, you'll leave, it's hard, if you like it,” but when I think about all of this suffering, I always remember this line, and I remember my late father who told me that there was such a line.

He explained that the state of life in reincarnation is “suffering.”

It's a very negative story if you just listen to it as you said.
I think there are fun times in life.
What the Buddha told us is not a story about “suffering” from birth until death.
He explained all of the six reincarnations of being born, dying, and being born again... as “suffering.”

The root of Buddhism is the story that the state of life where people are born and die over and over again is “suffering,” and if you are not freed from it, you cannot be happy.

It's fun because it doesn't turn out the way I want

When one person translates the original text into Chinese, it is “all suffering.” If I translate this into Chinese, it is “all wishes have no effect,” and different expressions can also be made depending on the translator. I wanted to make it a four-character compound word, so maybe I forcibly translated “original text (not going the way I wanted)” as “suffering.” I forcefully reduced it to nothing. Not all wishes come true, and the results don't turn out the way you want, so you can enjoy it. I hope it's helpful.

Buddhism teaches that “all living things are equally unhappy”

Recently, I listened to a lecture by Professor Shizuka Sasaki (Shizuka), a professor at Kyoto Hanazono University.
The teacher specializes in Indian Buddhist history. It also appeared on the NHK program.

It is said that the title was spoken by the teacher as the root of the lecture.
There isn't a single thing that can be said to be a life without happiness from birth,
It seems that being happy is due to what you do after that.

Whether you're born to a Brahmin or a Sudra, what is next to death
It's life.

What Shakyamuni wants to say is that in response to this unhappy life,
I think it's “well how to live.”

It's also Shakyamuni's habit, or something like a greeting in India
“Svaha” is regarded as a word such as “be happy,” but it is selfless
Because I realized life, in other words, because I understood that life is unhappy,
“Life, be happy”
I have a feeling that these are the words I hoped for.

Absolutely all suffering is, after all, a word for living “now” with hope
I think I can say that, I think so.
There was no answer, and I stated it selfishly. Please excuse my rudeness.
