PYAPON, MYANMAR: A female villager sits in her wrecked house.

Aw! Dukha Dukha Dukha

Life is all about suffering

at least I still have my place on earth

My neighbors are worse than me

We just have to live on

suffer and struggle

This is what Life is all about!

Help comes or not I do not mind

My life depends upon my own Karma

Dukha (Suffering), Anicca (Impermanence), Anatta (Soulessness)... the three characteristics of life.

With Dukha, comes realisation of 'happiness'.
With Anicca, comes comes understanding of 'reality'.
With Anatta (which I prefer to think as 'Selflessness'), comes the salvation from ego's deadly grip.
