Noble Truth of Suffering

The thing that caught my eye was the short paragraph in the beginning of the chapter. It explained that almost everything, if not everything, as composed of suffering. For the most part I agree with this but I don't believe that everything is composed of suffering. If that were the case then there wouldn't be a point in living. You care for people, and when they die you suffer because of that connection you had with them. This is what I think of the paragraph: everything that is good will eventually come back and bite you in the ass. But its the good part that is worth the suffering in the end. Having friends, a significant other and sharing the good times with them, to me, are worth the pain that you feel in the end.
I may be on the wrong track with this but that's who I perceived this part.

Hard way

Ive got mixed feeling about this reading. I agree with his depection of expirienceing the hard way is going to be painful and hard, but that is definelty life. Things never go easy for you and in Trunpas words "it is an extremely narrow path with no escape, a painful path" I dont know if Im just in a pessimistic mood today but as I was reading that I had to agree that to think life is going to be otherwise is foolish hope. If we are going to get to the end of it we are going to be embarresed,shot down and dejected, but no one promised it was going to be easy. But what I noticed in the writing was that there didnt seem to be much enjoyment or even satsifaction in the hard way. That is where I differ from Trungpa,now I might be interpreting him wrong, but I think that despite all the hardships in life there can be some fullfll in life by oversoming the hardships that are thrown our way
