Buddhism Question: Sweet-Sorrow?

Recommended Posts

Buddists and all Daobums:

 

Was Shakespeare wrong?  Does Sweet-Sorrow exist?

Juliet: 
’Tis almost morning. I would have thee gone,
And yet no farther than a wanton’s bird,
That lets it hop a little from his hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
And with a silken thread plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of his liberty.


ROMEO 
I would I were thy bird.


JULIET

Sweet, so would I.
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say “Good night” till it be morrow.

No lol. Let's go through the four noble truths shall we?

 

1. In life there is suffering.

 

2. The cause of suffering is desire.

 

3. There is an end of suffering (when there is no suffering the natural state of the mind is peace and happiness)

 

4. The eight fold path that leads to the end of suffering. 

 

Your laughter, imo, is a good thing.  I like laughter.  Your laughter makes me happy.  Sincerely.

 

Why is that?

What makes you happy?

 

Why laugh?

 

Are you always happy in the same way?

 

Are there degrees of happiness?

 

Different types of laughter?

 

What is going on with this?  Have you thought about it?

Having pizza and then stepping on the scale: sweet sorrow.

 

There's light pizza... I used to make pizza.  First job, Papa John's Pizza, 14 years old.  I can still sling'em.  But I choose not to.  Too messy and it's completely unnecessary unless the dough is cold.

I do.  But it´s not true.  Pizza is not like X at all; pizza is much better.

I agree it's not true, but, maybe we're talking about something different.  If not, bro, we need to talk
