 The Truth of Suffering (Dukkha): Life is inherently filled with suffering and dissatisfaction.

The Truth of the Cause of Suffering (Samudaya): Suffering is caused by attachment, desire, and ignorance. When we cling to people, objects, or ideas, we create a cycle of craving and dissatisfaction.

The Truth of the End of Suffering (Nirodha): By overcoming attachment and desire, one can achieve liberation from suffering.

I think the buddhists got it figured out.
