"Dukha"

I was particularly intrigued by the last two kinds of suffering: to be parted from those one loves and to be forced to live in propinquity with those one does not love. What experiences might our Lord Buddha have undergone in his own life that he had included these two states among the great sufferings?

A great lady letting us a peek into her humanity. This is more humbling and hits the heart spot-on than any other form of (empty) rah-rah platitudes. 

*Dukha - the concept of suffering in Buddhism, of which there are six, which the Lady also mentioned in her Nobel speech: to be conceived, to age, to sicken, to die, to be parted from those one loves, to be forced to live in propinquity with those one does not love.
