The Noble Truth of Suffering :

12. Disappointment [yam piccham na labhatidukkha]

 

 

Disappointment [yam piccham na labhatidukkha]

 

The Buddha divided this category of suffering into two parts material disappointment and abstract disappointment, Supposing in spite of working hard and having all the  mecessary patience in the face of hardship, a person still doesn’t manage to earn their living successfully material disappointment is what they feel as the result.

 

 

 For as long as we still harbor such disappointment in our hearts, it will continue to bring us misery.

 

If a person hankers after more abstract things like honours, but is unable to procure all that they are looking for, abstract disappointment is what they feel as the result. For as long as we still harbor such disappointment in our hearts, it will continue to bring us misery.
