Dukkha (or self-imposed suffering)
If you skip cold and go straight to freezing,
If you skip warm and go straight to scorching,
If you skip hungry and go straight to starving
Then you are skipping mild, manageable discomfort and causing your own torment.
If you skip warm and go straight to scorching,
If you skip hungry and go straight to starving
Then you are skipping mild, manageable discomfort and causing your own torment.
