Zen and the Art of Suck it Up

This one is for all my Gen X peeps.

Brian and I were talking the other day about Buddhist philosophy.  You know, "Desire is the root of all suffering."  And he said, "Can't it all be summed up as Suck it Up?"

Made me think.  So here, for the benefit of my fellow Gen Xers, are the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism translated into a language you can understand:

1.  Life is full of suck.

2.  Your desire for life to not suck just makes you unhappy.

3.  You won't be so unhappy if you stop wanting life to not suck.

4.  Suck it up.



Peace.
