A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does
not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
For all mortals, birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness
is suffering.
What is the noble truth of suffering? Birth is suffering, ageing
is suffering and sorrow and lamentation, pain, grief and despair
are suffering.

"No man is free who is a slave to the flesh"
