The Noble Truths as the Middle Way

Reflections on the first two Noble Truths as expressions of the Middle Way. Talked about the pervasiveness of comfort and fear of discomfort, especially in consumer-centered post-industrial societies, and how this can warp our ability to understand dukkha (suffering, pain, dissatisfaction), making it seem entirely psychological rather than an intervention into every moment of our sensory life.
