Universal Goodness : 25 Suffering Is Built Into Our Body. We feel cold because the fire element is lacking. Therefore, we need clothing and shelter. We feel hot because the wind element is lacking. Therefore, we need to choose proper clothing, turn on the fan, turn on the air-conditioner, etc. We feel hungry because the earth element is lacking. Therefore, we need to eat in order to assuage our hunger. We feel thirsty because the water element is lacking. Therefore, we need to drink in order to quench our thirst. When we feel very cold, very hot, very hungry or very thirsty, it means that there is an imbalance of the four primary elements that make up our body and we get sick. Therefore, we need medicine to alleviate our aches and pains. We need to realize that the heat and the cold, hunger and thirst cause us to require the four necessities of life.
